Ex-soldier Ingrid Nielsen's first day on the job takes a deadly turn. Her new boss has been murdered, and now the cops suspect her. She'll have to play detective to clear her own name.

In a faux L.A. circa 1937, this is as surreal a game of cat-and-mouse as you've ever seen. But then again, you're new to the rancid city of Hyopolis, Kaliphornia, where all the cops could be bent, and all the gangsters in league with a devil. One thing you can bank on - this purple-skinned private eye is destined to find herself at the center of a lot of magical trouble.

This novel has it all: A hero haunted by her past - what little she can remember of it! A multi-verse or two! Plenty of Easter eggs! Puns! Pixies! Wizards and very ugly monsters! All worked into a non-stop narrative that is by turns hilarious and harrowing. Fans of Sandman Slim and October Daye are sure to love The Damaged Angel.
