Hot Lead, Cold Iron is the first novel in a brand-new fantasy detective series that will appeal to fans of Rivers of London and The Dresden Files
Chicago, 1932. Mick Oberon may look like just another private detective, but beneath the fedora and the overcoat, he's got pointy ears and he's packing a wand.
Oberon's used to solving supernatural crimes, but the latest one's extra weird. A mobster's daughter was kidnapped sixteen years ago, replaced with a changeling, and Mick's been hired to find the real child. The trail's gone cold, but what there is leads Sideways, to the world of the Fae, where the Seelie Court rules. And Mick's not really welcome in the Seelie Court any more. He'll have to wade through Fae politics and mob power struggles to find the kidnapper – and of course it's the last person he expected.

03/15/2014While urban fantasies often like to lean on noir conventions, Marmell (The Conqueror's Shadow) goes one better by actually setting his novel in 1930s Chicago, with a PI facing down gangsters. But there's a twist: PI Mick Oberon is one of the fae, and his case involves tracking down a changeling. Mick is reluctant to take the case, dealing as it does with a capo in the Outfit, but he's really unhappy when he realizes that to solve the case he will have to travel to the Seelie Court. VERDICT The parallels that Marmell draws between the criminal underworld and the fairy otherworld are clever, if occasionally too obvious. Mick is funny and winning as a regular joe trying to stay out of local and fae politics, but his habit of addressing rhetorical questions to the reader and explaining his own jokes irritate over time. The slang and the period details are a lot of fun, though.
