Praise for Dead Man in a Ditch: Superb...
Welcome back to the streets of Sunder City, a darkly imagined world perfect for readers of Ben Aaronovitch and Jim Butcher.
Just Dead friends, twisted miracles, and a secret machine made to deliver a single shot of murder.
But there\'s no magic in this story.
Rumors got out about what happened with the Professor, so now people keep asking me to fix the world.
What I don\'t do, because it\'s impossible, is search for a way to bring the goddamn magic back.
Help an old-lady Elf track down her husband\'s murderer? That\'s right up my alley.
Find out who killed Lance Niles, the big-shot businessman who just arrived in town? I\'ll give it shot.
The name\'s Fetch Phillips -- what do you need? Cover a Gnome with a crossbow while he does a dodgy deal? Sure. ―
Library Journal (starred review) Fetch Phillips Novels The Last Smile in Sunder City Dead Man in a Ditch In this brilliant sequel to actor Luke Arnold\'s debut The Last Smile in Sunder City, a former soldier turned PI solves crime in a world that\'s lost its magic.
The perfect story for adult fantasy fans--a tough PI and a murder mystery wrapped around the mysticism of Hogwarts, sprinkled with faerie dust. ―
Publishers Weekly Arnold\'s universe has everything, including the angst of being human.
With a lead who would be at home in the pages of a Raymond Chandler or James Ellory novel and a nicely twisty plot, this installment makes a strong case for Arnold\'s series to enjoy a long run.
