Description
Yancy Lazarus just wants to be
left alone. He wants to play his blues music, smoke a few cigarettes, and
otherwise leave the supernatural world to fend for itself.
He especially wants to be left alone by the Guild of the Staff—the mage ruling
body—where he used to work as a Fix-It man. But when a little kid gets nabbed
by an ancient Fae creature from the nether regions of Winter and the Guild
refuses to set things right, he just can’t seem to heed good sense and leave
things be.
Nothing’s ever easy though. Turns out, the kidnapping is just the tip of one
big ol’ iceberg of pain and trouble. It seems some nefarious force is working
behind the scenes to try and unhinge the tenuous balance between the
supernatural nations and usher in a new world order. So now, if Yancy ever
hopes to see the bottom of another beer bottle, he’s gonna have to partner up
with an FBI agent—an agent who’s been hunting him for years—in order to bring
down a nigh-immortal, douchebag mage from a different era. And to top it off,
Yancy’s gonna have to pull it off without his magical powers … Boy, some days
just aren’t worth getting out of bed for.
Advance Praise
“Yancy Lazarus is back and
facing off against his most dangerous foe yet—without the benefit of his magic.
A breakneck thriller that'll keep you turning the pages!”
—Sam Witt, Author of Half-Made Girls (Pitchfork County Novels)
“The title may be Cold Hearted, but this series is on fire … As much as I enjoyed the first book, it's sequel is that much better. There was no part of this story that didn't keep me entertained: whether it was the action, the dialogue, or the loving craftsmanship that went into weaving various mythologies together so that they fit under one tapestry of the supernatural.” —Rick Gualtieri, Author of Bill the Vampire (The Tome of Bill)
“In a steel shaker of ice, combine equal parts MacGyver, Dresden, Callahan, C-3PO and Boy Scout. Add one can of whup ass, one can of beer, and a pinch of God. Sprinkle with cigarette ashes, simmering brunette, and barbecue sauce to taste. Shake violently for many chapters and strain into avid fantasy reader.” —Amazon Reviewer
