Posted on 02 February 2018 by Ari Marmell

Mick Oberon may look like just another 1930s private detective, but beneath the fedora and the overcoat, he s got pointy ears and he s packing a wand Mick is suffering from bad luck, and when luck is your chief magical weapon, that means things are pretty dire Hunting for the origin of his bad mojo, Mick finds himself on the trail of a missing mummy, and being trailed by some of the most dangerous mobsters in Chicago As well as once again embroiled in the maneuverings of the seductive and lethal Ramona Webb and her mysterious employer All Mick knows for sure is that, until he can figure out precisely what s going on, he s vulnerable And the threat, whatever it is and from whatever direction it may be coming, is very, very real.
