Description

"With the coming of the Second Thaumaturgic Age, magic has returned to Santa Fe and adept Paul Ramirez has come back to the city of his birth to pass on the old knowledge he has gained from his teacher, the legendary Merlin Ambrosius. However, he soon finds himself helping the police track down a vicious serial killer who is using necromancy to drain his victims of their souls. In way over his head, Ramirez receives help from the unlikeliest of sources: a beautiful cat burglar, a drop-out show more warlock, a Cockney punk possessed by spirits, and a tough-talking, one-eyed cat named Gomez"--Back cover. show less

The runestone bearers may be dealing with a few personal issues (like who gets to wear the body today), but when mutilated bodies start turning up in the peaceful old town of Santa Fe, Kira, Wyrdrune/Modred, Merlin and Broom saddle up and ride to the rescue. With help from a John Wayne-looking ex-Chicago cop, a streetwise cat with a penchant for Mike Hammer novels, and a local college professor, and hindrance from their old pals at the Bureau, Santa Fe just might survive...

Maybe because I didn't have rosy memories of reading this installment as a kid, I liked it a bit better than Samurai Wizard. Still a touch wordy, but Gomez, the tough-talking, one-eyed cat was a trip.
