Kat Richardson delivers a weird fantasy mystery that will delight fans of Philip Marlowe and Jim Butcher! Wild twists, devious plotting, sparkling dialogue, and a lot of bone-deep chills. Highly recommended!
Jonathan Maberry, Bestselling author of NecroTek and editor of Weird Tales Magazine, on STORM WATERS
Storm Waters is a pitch-perfect killer noir — punched up with magic, and keenly imagined by a master of the form.
Cherie Priest, author of Flight Risk
I fully expected Humphrey Bogart to rise from his grave and volunteer to narrate Storm Waters. Kat Richardson has managed to capture that gritty noir feel of post-prohibition Hollywood. Marty Storm is tortured — physically and also just really messed up emotionally — and the mystery takes twists I wasn’t expecting. It’s a noir and stormy ride.
