New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green “continues to deliver enjoyable, fast-paced, and fun entertainment” (SF Revu) in his Secret Histories novels featuring supernatural arse kicker Eddie Drood—who’s about to play a most dangerous game in his latest adventure....
Some call me Shaman Bond, but I was born Eddie Drood, the latest in a long line of folks who chase monsters out of closets for a living to keep humanity safe from all that is dark, demonic, and just downright evil. Needless to say, we’ve made our fair share of enemies over the centuries—and made some questionable bargains.
In exchange for the power to fight the forces of darkness, my parents signed over their souls. They’re not the only ones who’ve made deals with Heaven, Hell, and every otherworldly realm in between, but now the bill’s due for several big names in the supernatural community.
Including my girl, Molly. She, my parents, and other major players have been kidnapped so they’ll pay up—or participate in the “Big Game.” The rules are simple: get from one side of the pocket dimension to the other and kill your competitors. The winner’s debt is paid in full, and the losers get themselves permanently lost, body and soul, forever.
To save my loved ones, I’ve got to become a ringer in this deadly contest that’s undoubtedly rigged by the Powers That Be....

      Drood might not sound like an inspiring family name, until you learn the title represents a dynasty of supernatural James Bonds. If the unassuming people of the Droods' alternate reality don't notice the myriad of terrifying threats to their existence lurking beyond their understanding, that's just because the Droods are doing their job. But Eddie Drood has done all he can to cut ties after becoming disillusioned by the family's growing corruption. He now needs to finish one more family job to get what he wants, if he can indeed trust his former clan. This ninth book in the Secret Histories series carries the story along at a relentless pace fueled by a whimsical fantasy-noir attitude. Predictable yet fun, Eddie's story is an easy read for those who want a fantasy-genre mash-up that doesn't slow down.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
