Description
A demon haunts the City of Angels ... a savage serial killer who is carving his own Hollywood legend on the bodies of young women. Is the fiendish murderer a psychopath, or an evil spirit from the dawn of time?In an era when film magic is done with real magic, it's hard to tell where illusion ends and sorcery begins. Why are people disappearing? Why was the only suspect torn to pieces in his jail cell? Why do ominous shadows leave footprints on the ground?Only a bumbling young wizard, a show more beautiful cat burglar, a cockney punk possessed by the soul of Merlin the Magician, and the last survivor of Camelot can tackle the case that baffles the police. And they must find a way to stop the murders before a temple of innocence is turned into a fantasyland of horror .... show lessTags

[reread 4/7/16] reading funk essentially broken; Hawke weaves fun tongue in cheek stories that don't take themselves too seriously.
