Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green continues his Secret Histories series with debonair-yet-deadly paranormal agent Eddie Drood pulled into a hunt for a treasure worth far more than mere money …

As part of a family legacy representing courage, determination, and the occasional dirty trick, Eddie Drood rather enjoys making his own rules—and breaking them.

When it comes to facing down the darkest entities in creation and putting real boots to ethereal ass, he’s the best in the biz. Or at least one of the best. He thinks.

That’s why he’s been summoned to the deathbed of the one and only Alexander King—a living (for now) legend in the realm of otherworldly cloak-and-dagger operations. As an independent agent, King has managed to collect quite a cache of secrets, conspiracies, and evidence worth killing for and then some. And he’s putting the whole lot up for grabs in a twisted game of intelligence, skill, and survival.

Pitted against a selection of prime recruits from all over the supernatural spy game, Eddie is going to have to call on all his skills and dirty tricks, to come out ahead in the great spy game where only the quick and the cool survive. Because one of King’s prized secrets is going to help Eddie uncover a hidden threat within his own family …

“Bright, fast-paced … Eddie makes a likable hero, and fans will enjoy following him through this surprisingly complex mystery.”—Publishers Weekly

Goodreads review by Tim on September 05, 2017

Well, OK, it was written in 2009, and a lot of urban fantasy has passed by since then. And maybe I'd have taken more from the book if I had read the Nightside books. But this sure feels like one of those series written by a guy who thinks writing is easy and can bang out a book in a few weeks. This......more

Goodreads review by Phillip on March 01, 2024

This is the third in the series and so far the best. It’s not great literature but it’s very imaginative and fun. While it’s not necessary to read the first two in the series I recommend it. Simon Green has written several syfy/fantasy series and so far I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read of his.......more

Goodreads review by Shayan on March 07, 2016

2.6 stars Once again, a book that seems like an Agatha Christie mystery novel. Seriously, the whole time I was trying to guess who is the bad guy and who I can trust. But it wasn't as good as a mystery novel. And if you've read some of Christie's book you can guess the plot of this book. (view spoiler)[ I like th (hide spoiler)]......more
