Publisher's Summary

When it comes to supernatural intrigue, nobody does it better than New York Times best-selling author Simon R. Green.

Eddie Drood, at your service. For generations my family has been keeping humanity safe from the wicked, the nasty, and the generally not-nice inhuman predators who feed on people’s fear and misery. No one kicks evil arse better than us Droods - especially yours truly.

In fact, my arse-kicking skills have come to the attention of the legendary Alexander King, Independent Agent extraordinaire, who spent a lifetime doing anything and everything - for the right price. Now he’s on his deathbed, looking to bestow all of his priceless secrets to a worthy successor.

To decide, King challenges six competitors - myself included - to solve five mysteries all around the world, figuring that along the way we’ll backstab one another until only one remains. But I’ve got to win at all costs, because King holds the most important secret of all to the Droods: the identity of the traitor in our midst.

Succeeds everywhere the predecessor fails

This book abandons the over-bloated and convoluted plot of the previous iteration, grounding the story in a noir of sorts, that if not without its problems, felt refreshing, and compelling. It was helped a whole lot by the change in narrator. The previous narrator made Eddie and Molly sound like 80 year old english cartoons, and that always took me out of it - after all they were supposed to be 20 to 30 somethings, but hearing his voice all I could picture was the monopoly man. James Langton does a phenomenal job. My only big issue was (spoilers might be ahead) with Eddie and Walker (and even Honey) not figuring out the independent agent’s plot. I figured it out immediately after Peter disappeared, and I am not James Bond. Surely 3 espionage pros should have at least considered the possibility, but instead, Eddie and Walker are at a loss when Peter reveals the truth - I find that very hard to believe. That said, I’m All around happy with the book.
