Hallow Point (#2)
The hard-boiled, non-stop patter-packed fantasy noir series continues as PI Mick Oberon is caught in treasure hunt he can’t afford to lose…
In 1930s Chicago, being a private detective can get you bumped off as easy as breathing. But Mick Oberon isn’t your average shamus. He’s runaway fae royalty from the Otherworld who hung up his shingle, packs a wand instead of a heater, loves warm milk, and has a serious iron allergy.
Hey, a nigh-immortal guy’s gotta make a living, right?
That’s why Mick agrees to help the cops when someone breaks into the Field Museum. Strange thing is, they didn’t steal anything. In fact, they added something. Something Mick really doesn’t want in his town—the Spear of Lugh, which grants invincibility in battle to whoever wields it. The problem is, some other mug steals it just as fast as it appeared.
With the spear in play, a whole slew of very heavy hitters from both worlds are coming to the Windy City to claim it as their own. And that means trouble like Mick has never seen before, and is unlikely to see again…
Because you tend not to see anything when you’re stone dead.
“Among the best urban fantasy novels I have read.” —Rising Shadow
Reviews
“It’s a fascinating concept, and a solid foundation for yet another gripping story […] a highly enjoyable ride; the writing takes its reader into the heart of every scene […] It’s a great read, reinvigorating the tropes of two genres to enable them to rise above cliché status. With final revelations that imply a larger conspiracy, it seems Marmell has plenty more up his sleeve for his hero, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for Mick Oberon in the future.”
“The once again breakneck pacing story and the marvelous character that is Mick Oberon, and the whole setting of the book, make HALLOW POINT a more than great follow-up. Ari Marmell doesn’t let you as a reader took look away once from the story.”
“Irresistibly entertaining [...] It’s among the best urban fantasy novels I’ve ever read.”
“Marmell has written another enjoyable read – sharp, enjoyable, intriguing, colourful – and I’m looking forward to the next one.”
