A fun, fast-paced mash-up of classic detective fiction and urban fantasy with a dash of dystopia.

Lots of action, political intrigue, international travel and culture and good-natured humor/banter between the husband and wife team.

"A chilling justification of a life of violence, as nonchalant as it is grim." My take? What a weird little book...
