The breakneck pace balances Van's laconic voice, pulling readers headlong into a maelstrom of violence, magic, and prophesy. Dark-fantasy fans will enjoy this gritty supernatural mystery and its memorable protagonist - Publishers Weekly
Van H. Avram, PI, stumbles from case to case, getting by on his good looks and appeal to desperate dames. But when a missing-person case dumps the body of a skinny blond thing on his doorstep, he finds himself plummeting into the clutches of an underworld intent on human sacrifice. An underworld of biblical origin.
An ancient evil rises up to destroy the world and, without asking for it, Van is thrust into the role of savior. As reality—and the occasional building—collapses around him, he’s chased, battered, and seduced by demons, vampires and unhinged women, all against a background of a war-ravished world wrapped up in vintage fashions and flying diesel-powered vehicles.
Time ticks down to a do-or-die moment as the fate of the universe is decided in one final battle. But to save the universe, Van must face his own demons and an unremembered past.
For fans of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and Douglas Adams.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lingane (Faraday) sets up a deadly contest between good and evil in a bleak alternate-Earth setting that's soaked in noir wryness. When PI Van H. Avram takes on a missing-person case, the last thing he expects is to find a dead body on his doorstep. The corpse is only the first of a series of encounters with "skinny blond things" that lead Van into an apocalyptic nightmare of murder, human sacrifice, vampires, demons, and deadly fireballs. A mysterious artifact is missing, someone's torching buildings, Van's got some annoying holes in his memory, and his only ally, Angelina, is a vampire slayer with secrets of her own. The breakneck pace balances Van's laconic voice, pulling readers headlong into a maelstrom of violence, magic, and prophesy. Dark-fantasy fans will enjoy this gritty supernatural mystery and its memorable protagonist. (BookLife)
