The Rain Ledger

by Phillip Reynolds

Ebook $0.99

In the rain-slicked heart of the Obsidian Sprawl, illicit elixirs grant dangerous magic, and secrets cling to every shadowed alley. Meet Gene O’Dalaigh, a man who makes his living finding the lost and burying inconvenient truths. In a sprawling metropolis where art deco skyscrapers pierce a smog-choked sky, Gene navigates a city built on temporary magical boosts and ancient, warring societies. His only unusual gift is a narrow one: he can hear the last few seconds of sound clinging to an object, a painful echo that offers fractured truths in a city drowning in lies. When a murdered bookkeeper leads him to a ledger of stolen magic, Gene finds himself tangled in a web of impossible break-ins and ancient societies vying for control of the city’s shadows. With a practical stenographer and a cynical doctor, he follows a trail of dead men and silenced witnesses, uncovering a sinister plot to exploit the gifted for profit. Someone is turning magic into a weapon, and the city’s oldest powers are playing a deadly game. From basement gin joints to forgotten subway tunnels, Gene must choose between protecting a valuable source or exposing a truth that could shatter lives. Can he untangle the threads of magic and corruption before the Sprawl is consumed by its own dark heart? Dive into a gritty detective mystery where magic meets noir, and every secret has a price.
