Winston Wallis has a secret. He is all that remains of mankind, and is surrounded on all sides by demons, monsters, and ghouls that picked up where humankind left off – lying, stealing, cheating, and killing.
Years ago, it was Winston’s job to investigate such things. Now his ex-partner needs help solving the brutal murder of the world’s largest Colossal. Because he knows the secret. He knows about the magical curse that gives Winston the ability to survive a world where everything is bigger, stronger, and angrier than he is. But how long can Win’s impossible luck last, and will this new case finally be the death of him?
He certainly hopes so…
Key Selling Points
African-American writer Brandon Thomas cites as influences Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Devil in a Blue Dress, Cool World and Bad Boys
“This book is five different genres beautifully smashed together to create a world that never plays it safe, and always keeps the characters — and hopefully readers — off-guard, with no idea what’ll happen next, or which trope is next to be subverted,” Thomas explained in a statement.
“I’m always interested in injecting new black and brown characters into genres where they typically haven’t appeared, and I’d never seen a book with this particular mix of characters, environments, and storytelling styles.”
Book reteams Thomas with artist Lee Ferguson after their last collaboration, the indie title The Many Adventures of Miranda Mercury
