The Fassbinder fun continues. The only-half-Normal Brisbane sleuth has fox-spirits, ninja librarians and much, much worse to deal with now, even as motherhood gives her a makeover.

brilliant new urban fantasy with elements of murder, mystery and magic -
I'm already looking forward to the next Verity Fassbinder adventure * Alison Littlewood, author of A Cold Season *
A fast-paced new entry into the urban fantasy genre * Stefan's Books *
Like Aickman, her sense of the fantastic serves to show us the weird world we hold within our own psyches . . .
Slatter's prose is often magnificent, and she's able to craft
characters as great as the powers they wield * Rick Kleffel, American Public Radio Books on Angela Slatter *
Rich and heady as honey mead, potent and earthy as great Scotch, the sublimely dark tales of Angela Slatter are
an addictive delight * Neil Snowden *
Verity Fassbinder comes on like a
high-octane mix of Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden and Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone -
dry, smart, funny, fuelled by a need to protect the weak, and driven by a past that haunts her. Verity's BrisVegas is a far cry from the streets of Brisbane you'll see in tourist brochures, a
dark supernatural playground where anything can happen and where the strangest of us can find safe haven. If you loved
True Blood, or if you've ever loved a great PI series, then
Vigil is for you.
Smart, funny, and engaging. I can't wait for the sequel! * Jonathan Strahan, editor of The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year series *
The narration is
witty, adroit, a fine example of
good crime storytelling . . . an
entertaining read * Sisters in Crime *
