A gritty urban fantasy. The thriller/crime background is the typical PI in a seedy downtown office where the PI has plenty of emotional baggage which he deals with over his case, in conjunction with the local (female) cop. However, it's elevated by the unique take on magic in the modern world, as this PI is a wizard. Love the worldbuilding and thought that's gone into this take on magic. Great character building and like the way the backstory is neatly weaved into the main plot. A tad on the gory side for my personal taste.
