"Part noir, part monster punk, it's like nothing I've encountered before. Full of unforgettable characters in a unique setting, the Stein and Candle Detective Agency will appeal to fans of urban fantasy adventure. It's an unforgettable read." - Vicki Keire, bestselling author of the Angel's Edge and Chonicles of Nowhere series. Mort's a hardboiled ex-paratrooper turned two-gun shamus. Weatherby's a fourteen-year-old wiz kid and heir to the greatest family of European sorcerers. Together, they form The Stein & Candle Detective Agency, employing a small arsenal and a deep knowledge of matters arcane and bizarre to solve cases nobody else would dare touch. This time, Weatherby and Mort have cases that will take them from a vampire's decaying mansion to the mob-controlled streets of Havana. They'll take on roadside attractions gone wrong, hordes of the living dead, and ride against the Devil himself in a high speed car race to the death. They'll need brains and brawn to survive in a world where horror, action and hardboiled noir come together in a cataclysmic mix! More Praise for Stein & Candle: "This young author paints with vivid colors, a sly sense of humor, and a broad knowledge of history, particularly pertaining to the occult.

Action & Adventure

For Weatherby Stein and Morton Candle - private detectives specializing in the paranormal - life normally isn't easy. They deal with cases that pit them against ferocious demons in the Tokyo underworld, Satan-worshipping teenagers in a seemingly normal suburb and lizard-men in a Lake Tahoe lounge, and they still manage to come out on top. But now one of Weatherby's ancient ancestors, the villainous Viscount Wagner Stein, has been resurrected and is looking to stir up trouble - and he's not alone. Facing down dangers from the past like the Viscount and the newly arisen Dracula, Lord of Vampires, Weatherby and Mort have no choice but call in help. They'll bring in Weatherby's sister, a college student studying folklore and her beatnik boyfriend. They'll bring in Morton's squad mates, a tough bunch of soldiers who stormed through Europe together. And they'll bring in a hulking monster named Adam, with another connection to the past of Weatherby's family. Weatherby, Morton and their allies make a stand to stop the evils of the past from corrupting of the future - and only one faction will make it out of the battle alive.
