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!
