Author Description

Fantasy meets Sherlock Holmes, where Watson is a sarcastic death god.Zarik yearns to be forgotten. Once a god, vanquisher, and world-record holder for most apples eaten in an hour, the daeva despises being known as a demon. After being summoned to kill, the ancient deity is surprised to be released for the first time in centuries. But freedom is fleeting. Hunted by an immortal rival and hounded by a private detective investigating mythical mysteries, the shapeshifting god searches for answers and a fresh start. With millennia of experience facing fabled foes, Zarik finds a chance at redemption. The god sides with a detective who uses empathy to find logic in people and myth's illogical motives, Scarlett Wolfe, to stop a manipulative killer that inflames the worst of mortal hearts. But having already been the murder weapon in one of Scarlett's mysteries, Zarik fears a regrettable past and precarious future will destroy any chance at being more than demon and doom. Tying together three cases-poisoned coffee and an accidental serial killer, a virtual reality crime of passion with a missing body, and absurdity at the center of the world-Detective Death is an urban fantasy book that investigates the mysteries of belief.
