Joanne Walker is a cop -- well, actually, she's an auto
mechanic who just happens to have a badge. She's never
really considered herself a real cop. She also happens to
be a Shaman, but doesn't know anything about her powers or
how to use them. Now she has to use them, because if she
doesn't, the unseen, largely unknown underworld will be
changed, as will the world we know.
Home to the Wild Hunt, the underworld is ruled by old gods,
Celtic gods among them. Joanne's had no sleep for days, her
boss is going to fire her as soon as she shows her face at
the station house and someone keeps coming from the
underworld trying to kill her -- or kidnap her. She has
three days to learn to use her powers, prevent the taking
over of the world by the son of an ancient Celtic god and
return the mystical child who leads the Wild Hunt, while
avoiding getting kidnapped or killed. Her only help is a
70+-year-old cabbie...oh, and a coyote who visits her in
her dreams.
What a great debut novel! I see nothing but great things
ahead for C.E. Murphy. Truly original, the story grabs you
from the get-go and takes you on a wild ride. I loved it,
and I can't wait to read the next installment in The Walker
Papers series. A very, very good read!
Joanne Walker has three days to learn to use her shamanic
powers and save the world from the unleashed Wild Hunt.
No worries. No pressure. Nevermind the lack of sleep, the
perplexing new talent for healing from fatal wounds, or the
cryptic, talking coyote who appears in her dreams.
And if all that's not bad enough, in the three years
Joanne's been a cop, she's never seen a dead body -- but
she's just come across her second in three days.
It's been a bitch of a week. And it isn't over yet.
