Book description
The next book in the Cal Leandros series that began with
Nightlife, Madhouse is a clever and hugely entertaining
urban fantasy in the vein of Jim Butcher by New York Times
bestselling author, Rob Thurman.
'My brother had spent a lifetime - mine, at least - telling me that
I was normal, that I wasn't a monster. With his help, I'd finally
realized that as long as I could remain who I was, I could survive
what I was. It was only bad genes . . .'
Half-human Cal Leandros and his brother, Niko, aren't exactly
prospering with their preternatural detective agency. Who could have
guessed that business would dry up in New York City, where vampires,
trolls, and other creepy crawlies are all over the place?
But now there's a new arrival in the Big Apple. A malevolent evil
with ancient powers, dead set on making history with an orgy of blood
and murder, is on a human killing spree. And for Cal and Niko, this is
one paycheck they're going to have to earn . . . if they survive to
collect it.
But this evil might be too much for even Cal and Niko to handle, and
to take it on, Cal will have to call forth the powerful talents he
inherited from his unhuman father's side of the family . . .
A stunning urban fantasy with a deeply humorous edge, Rob Thurman's
Madhouse is not to be missed.
'Supernatural elements put this in the company of Jim Butcher and
Charlaine Harris. Fans of dark urban fantasy will certainly want to
follow Cal's adventures. Recommended' SFRevu
'A roaring rollercoaster of a read . . . it's sharp and sardonic,
mischievous and mysterious' Simon R. Green
