IT'LL TAKE MORE THAN ANGELS AND DEMONS TO STOP HIM. Reporter Spencer Finch is a journalist embroiled in the hunt for a missing book, encountering along the way cat burglars and mobsters, hackers and mysterious monks. At the same time, he's trying to make sense of the legacy left him by his late grandfather, a chest of what appear to be pulp magazines from the golden age of fantasy fiction. Following his nose, Finch gradually uncovers a mystery involving a lost Greek play, secret societies, generations of masked vigilantes - and an entire hidden history of mankind. It's like The Da Vinci Code retold by the Coen brothers in this blockbuster blur. File Under: Urban Fantasy [ Conspiracy! | Angelic Mysteries | Pulp Fiction | Blow Your Mind ]

A private investigator working for shady magnate J. Nathan Pierce is dead. Spencer Finch, a freelance reporter desperate for meaningful work, leaps at the chance for a big story when his soft profile on Pierce becomes a murder mystery. Unfortunately, Finch has a whodunit with no leads. He also has an apartment with no furniture, and a life with no direction. When he begins to dig a little deeper, though, Spencer suddenly finds himself caught up in a web of intrigue that includes millionaires, mobsters and secret societies, with a priceless ancient book at its center. Told with a keen wit and an individual flair, Voices of Thunder is the rare mystery novel that successfully rises above the conventions of a single genre, incorporating elements of fantasy, adventure and true crime with a staggering knowledge of literary history. Using a dazzling variety of styles and voices, Roberson’s debut novel moves from Greek tragedy to pulp potboiler effortlessly, weaving a masterful, suspenseful tale with his own unique touch.

The Fortitude's captain sets his sights on a Spanish galleon weighted down with a fortune in gold and spices, but Lieutenant Hieronymus Bonaventure thinks the prize not worth the risk. The ship is smashed by storms and driven far into unknown seas, the galleon and her treasure lost in the tempest. Bonaventure and the rest of the Fortitude's crew find themselves aground on an island in uncharted waters. The island is a place of magic and mystery, promising the crew rest and contentment. But beneath the beauty lurks a darker secret: an ancient evil buried at the living heart of a volcano.
