Strange Magic: A Yancy Lazarus Novel (Yancy Lazarus Series) (Volume 1)

Dark Magic and Monsters Threaten to Take Over LA

Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, mage, and former paranormal fix-it man—just wants to drink good bourbon, listen to great tunes, and keep his head down.

But when some kind of demonic nightmare carries out a series of brutal gangland assassinations in LA, Lazarus finds himself stuck in the middle of a deadly turf war with otherworldly forces closing in on every side. Now, he needs to figure out who is behind the twisted hoodoo before someone hexes him into early retirement. The kind of retirement that comes with a toe tag.

“Move over Harry Dresden because there’s a new wizard in town. Yancy Lazarus, a chain-smoking, take no prisoners S.O.B. with a heart of gold and a fistful of primal power. A stellar debut novel from James Hunter, the next big name in Urban Fantasy.” —Rick Gualtieri, Author of Bill the Vampire (The Tome of Bill)
