Property Of A Lady Faire

Supernatural agent Eddie Drood is on the job and out of luck as New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green continues his Secret Histories series. Where there are monsters, I am there to stop them. The name’s Eddie Drood. The Droods have been taking on the unnatural baddies of this world for ages, fighting the good fight while you normal types go on with your lives. But even we have a limited lifespan. And when my grandmother passes away and leaves me a gift that would make me the official head of the family, I just knew there had to be a catch. That catch being I had to give up my love, Molly. Forever. But even that life-changer takes a back seat when a group of heavy hitters start taking out the Department of the Uncanny with a special target on the Droods. Naturally, a lot of people (including my own family) think Molly and I are behind the mayhem. With my grandfather KIA and my parents MIA, I have to figure out a way to save my folks, clear my name, and root out the enemy. Which may require a bit of thievery from a very powerful, very mysterious, and very scary entity known as the Lady Faire. But she’s not just a lady. And she definitely doesn’t play fair...

After surviving another attempt on her life, Eddie Drood must save the future of her family of secret-keepers by stealing an ancient object from the Lady Faire, in the eighth novel of the series following Casino Infernale.
