This is the sixth in Richardson's "Greywalker" series, and it's a humdinger. Harper Blaine is working on a very ordinary case for a lawyer, when she sees the ghost of a murdered man burning in his car. This is precisely the sort of thing she can't ignore, so she begins poking around. Before she knows it, she's stirred up a whole nest of mages--not to mention Chinese demons and various other Otherworldly creatures. The book pretty much grabs you from the get-go, and doesn't let up much in the next 300-odd pages. Harper isn't a superwoman, which adds to the appeal. She gets tired, hungry, and lonely, like the rest of us. Sure, she's got special abilities, but they don't always work the way she thinks they will. In fact, her abilities with the Grey have changed quite a bit since the events of "Labyrinth," and she's still adjusting to that--not to mention recovering from a gunshot wound. Add to this realistic protagonist the nods to arguably the greatest of the American noir practitioners, Chandler and Hammett, you really can't miss by picking up this book.
