Book excerpt: A troll in a pin-striped suit walks into a bar. He's looking for Alex Southerland, private investigator and summoner of elementals. A gorgeous dame is going to come to Southerland with a case, and the troll tells him that he is going to turn the case down--or else! But Southerland doesn't respond well to threats, even from a seven-and-a-half foot, five-hundred pound enforcer. Besides, he needs the dough! The stubborn P.I. soon finds himself mixing it up with trolls and gang bosses, cruising through downtown streets in an outlandish beastmobile borrowed from a glorified pimp, and encountering corrupt city officials, creatures of legend, the sleaziest attorney in the city, a were-rat, and an irresistible--if homicidal--refugee from the ocean depths. Framed for a murder he didn't commit, Southerland weaves his way from seedy neighborhoods to the dazzling lights of downtown--and from one savage beating to the next--to clear his name and uncover a shocking secret.

A former trained Angel speaker, he devoted his life to serving both the celestial beings and his fellow humans with his gift, but a terrible betrayal compelled him to leave that life behind. Now he’s a cop who is still working on the side of angels. But where there are angels, there are also demons. There’s no question that there’s evil at work when he’s called in to examine the murder scene of a college student—but is it just the evil that one human being can do to another, or is it something more? When demonic possession is a possibility, even angelic protection can only go so far. The race is on to stop a killer before he finds his next victim, as Zaniel is forced to confront his own very personal demons, and the past he never truly left behind.

Disgraced intelligence agent. Forgotten war hero. Independent drug dealer. After a fall from grace five years ago, a man known as the Warden leads a life of crime, addicted to cheap violence and expensive drugs. Every day is a constant hustle to find new customers and protect his turf from low-life competition like Tancred the Harelip and Ling Chi, the enigmatic crime lord of the heathens. The Warden’s life of drugged iniquity is shaken by his discovery of a murdered child down a dead-end street . . . setting him on a collision course with the life he left behind. As a former agent with Black House—the secret police—he knows better than anyone that murder in Low Town is an everyday thing, the kind of crime that doesn’t get investigated. To protect his home, he will take part in a dangerous game of deception between underworld bosses and the psychotic head of Black House, but the truth is far darker than he imagines.

Like I said--it's complicated!Praise for A Witch Steps into My Office! Review by Susan Sewell for Readers' FavoriteFive Stars!After a prospective client announces that she has killed someone who isn't dead yet, a private eye strives to stop the killer before more people die horrifying deaths in A Witch Steps Into My Office: A Noir Urban Fantasy Novel (Alexander Southerland P.I. Book 2) by Douglas Lumsden. Alexander Southerland is a private investigator who attracts unusual clients with peculiar problems they want him to fix, and this day is no different. When a powerful witch confesses to the murder of a man who will die soon, she hires Alex to find the person who compelled her to kill him, and things get sticky. Uncertain about accepting the case, Alex attempts to rescue the doomed man and is on the scene when the victim meets his end. Now the police consider Alex a person of interest, and the actual killer has Alex in his sights. With more people dying and powerful magic behind their murders, Alex combines his investigative talent with a savvy police detective and a cunning were-rat to identify and immobilize the killer. Can Alex succeed in exposing the culprit? Or will he be the next sacrifice?A Witch Steps Into My Office by Douglas Lumsden is a brilliantly written, thrilling novel based on the pre-Colombian culture of Mexico and Central America. It is an enjoyable story with an engaging plot, exciting action-filled scenes, and a witty protagonist. With striking imagery and captivating and unique characters, the story captures the imagination from the first sentence and evolves to an astounding conclusion. I fell hard for Yerba City and its outlandish inhabitants, and I am anxiously waiting for Alex to return in future exploits. I recommend this sensational novel to everyone who loves an action-packed whodunit with a fantastical twist. I genuinely appreciated the pronunciation guide at the beginning and the Appendix at the end of the book; their addition enhanced the experience. Because of the strong language interspersed within the dialogue, the story is more suited for readers over the age of thirteen.

Download or read book The Road written by Cormac McCarthy and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-03-20 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A searing, post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son's fight to survive, this "tale of survival and the miracle of goodness only adds to McCarthy's stature as a living master. It's gripping, frightening and, ultimately, beautiful" (San Francisco Chronicle). • From the bestselling author of The Passenger A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation. Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
