by Zach Erwin

Tropes: mystery, horror, urbanfantasy

Raymond Chandler meets early 1960s Marvel Comics. When a god is murdered in front of Private Investigator Skip Gibson, he finds himself at the heart of a storm brewing in Empire City, especially since the victim was Skip's best lead in the disappearance of a brilliant rocket scientist tied to the U.S. space program. Now, with the other gods turning vengeful and the city on the brink, Skip is pulled into Empire's shadowy depths. A secretive cult, mass graves hidden beneath the streets, and a conspiracy decades in the making threaten to consume everything in their path. With divine wrath tearing the city apart, Skip must rely on a patchwork crew of unlikely allies to uncover the truth, stop the chaos, and stay alive long enough to connect the cosmic dots. In a world where gods bleed and mortals dare to dig too deep, solving the case might be the only way to save what's left of Empire City. [Read More]
