This is an urban fantasy with "were" and
runemysters which are for want of a better definition magic casters. Coe has developed his own lexicon for the
Justin Fearsson Investigations Inc. story line. Justin, as a magic wielding private eye, is
enveloped in a life threatening case by, a heart is not gold, gangster who is
not a black arts practitioner. Justin
is tasked to find a missing woman and her children.
Coe has an appealing style that draws you in quickly and then
creates characters that are memorable.
One of the aspects of Justin
Fearsson's character is that not only is he ethical, he is far more realistic
than most fantasy characters. Justin is
not a "kill them all and let the Lord sort them out" type of hero. All to often fantasies are populated by
characters that have no concern for collateral damage of the lives of
marginally bad people. Coe avoids that
and thusly imparts a greater sense of reality in an urban fantasy.
This is a well crafted book and I will be looking for other
books in the series as well as any thing else this superlative author has
written.
