Publisher Description
Poe's Red Death returns, more powerful than ever. Can anyone stop him before he summons an apocalyptic nightmare even worse than himself?
In The Left-Hand Way, the second book of Tom Doyle's contemporary fantasy series, the American craftsmen are scattered like bait overseas. What starts as an ordinary liaison mission to London for Major Michael Endicott becomes a desperate chase across Europe, where Endicott is both hunted and hunter. Reluctantly joining him is his minder from MI13, Commander Grace Marlow, one of Her Majesty's most lethal magician soldiers, whose family has centuries of justified hostility to the Endicotts.
Meanwhile, in Istanbul and Tokyo, Endicott's comrades, Scherie Rezvani and Dale Morton, are caught in their own battles for survival against hired assassins and a ghost-powered doomsday machine. And in Kiev, Roderick Morton, the spider at the center of a global web, plots their destruction and his ultimate apotheosis. After centuries of imprisonment, nothing less than godlike power will satisfy Roderick, whatever the dreadful cost.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Puritanical investigator Maj. Michael Endicott takes the lead in Doyle's rewarding second Craftsman installment (following American Craftsmen). This sprawling tale moves through Istanbul, Tokyo, London, and parts of the U.S., showcasing each region's unique magic. Endicott is on a mission to root out a mole in the British Magical Ops, but everything goes off the rails the moment he lands in London. Richard Morton the evil Left-Hand sorcerer Endicott thought was dead has hired the notorious Renfield family to assassinate Endicott. Grace Marlowe, a Craft Practitioner, begins to awaken forbidden longings in Endicott, who finds it hard to stick to his morals. Infiltrators, romance, and Endicott's beliefs about his cause and his magical power all crumble during an epic chase to stop Morton from achieving his dreams of ascending to godhood and destroying the world. This intense, thrilling romp makes excellent use of its cultural touchstones; it far surpasses its predecessor and welcomes new readers.
