What Happens in Vegas, Dies in Vegas
Mark Everett Stone
Camel, Nov 15 2011, $15.95
ISBN: 9781603818681
After a decade plus as the top agent at the Bureau of Supernatural Investigation and resolving Things to Do in Denver When You're Un-Dead, Kal Hakala has a personal mission that he doubts BSI will let him undertake. Thus, he sets up his death so he can go after the monster that killed his sister.
Although a loner, he surprisingly finds his former BSI associates assisting him on his quest. Kal searches for the ancient key to activate the Tesla Coil, the only gizmo he knows that can kill his invincible adversary, Finland’s legendary Iku-Turso. However, finding this artifact in Vegas without arousing his former boss BB at BSI proves difficult; especially when he and his teammates run into a threat to mankind by an evil with roots in 1943 Nazi Germany and the morality of a believer that the death of millions is a historical footnote while the death of billions is a welcoming to a new world order.
This is a great intelligent action-packed urban fantasy in which once again the Worlds of Stone seem real. Filled with wry satirical humor, fans will enjoy Kal’s High Noon confrontation with monsters, Nazis, and worse. Readers will never look at a lojack or the Big Picture in the same way due to this exhilarating supernatural thriller while awaiting the next stop on the Mark Everett Stone global tour.
