Publisher's Summary

A former soldier turned PI solves crime in a world that's lost its magic in this brilliant sequel to actor Luke Arnold's debut The Last Smile in Sunder City.

The name's Fetch Phillips - what do you need?

Cover a Gnome with a crossbow while he does a dodgy deal? Sure.

Find out who killed Lance Niles, the big-shot businessman who just arrived in town? I'll give it shot.

Help an old-lady Elf track down her husband's murderer? That's right up my alley.

What I don't do, because it's impossible, is search for a way to bring the goddamn magic back.

Rumors got out about what happened with the Professor, so now people keep asking me to fix the world.

But there's no magic in this story. Just dead friends, twisted miracles, and a secret machine made to deliver a single shot of murder.

Welcome back to the streets of Sunder City, a darkly imagined world perfect for listeners of Ben Aaronovitch and Jim Butcher.

Love it

Great performance by Luke Arnold! I could not stop listening, it's hard not to fall in love with the main character Fetch Phillips and the disaster that is his life. Dark,brooding and so very human seeking to make up for the mistakes of his past. It is both tender and gruesome. Death, magic, loss and love Sunder city has everything your looking for in a dark alley.

nothing really happened

just finished the book. it was enjoyable as a read. but when I look back aside from a few interesting characters being introduced and some personal development for the main character, nothing really moved forward plot wise. feels like filler.
