Publisher's Synopsis
The Two-Fisted Private Dick is Back! It's been two years since private investigator Dixon Peters saved the world from the Elder God Hellmouth. He's got a fancy new office uptown, a cute new secretary and more work than he can shake a stick at. So when millionaire industrialist Franklin G. Bumgarden III asks him to find his runaway children, Dix almost turns down the case. But Dix can't resist a puzzle, and the mystery of the missing Bumgarden kids looks like a real doozy. Within 24 hours of accepting the assignment, Dix finds himself knee-deep in ensorcelled housewives, lycanthropic assassins and demonic spies. In fact, everyone seems to know who he is and what he's looking for. A Change of Face! The only way he's going to solve this mystery, Dix quickly realizes, is to go undercover. Deep undercover. Lucky thing his best friend Ratty is a shape-shifter! With new faces and fake identities, Dix and his secretary-cum-girlfriend set off to find the Bumgarden kids... and just maybe, he hopes, unravel the mystery of the enigmatic Luciferians -- before something really bad happens! Lair of the Luciferians is an action-packed detective novel, a tongue-in-cheek homage to the hard boiled tales of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, featuring one of the most unique private dicks ever created, the supernatural shamus Dixon Peters. Reader raves for Menace of Club Mephistopheles: "An absolutely enjoyable read... for anyone who enjoys supernatural mysteries, or just plain weird fiction, I recommend giving it a try...". "An interesting mix of myth, magic and gumshoe detective. Starts right into the action and never lets up...". "I had been dragging my feet on buying this book because of the genre... not usually my type of story... what a mistake!..". "Not one for detective novels, I fell into this read as easy as watching Bogart and Bacall dance around a scene. Has tongue-in-cheek humor, sex (twisted), violence, and a taste of Mike Hammer... all blended into a H.P. Lovecraft nightmare - a nightmare complete with Apocalyptic visions and dramatic solutions...". "Very interesting take on the whole private eye genre. Loved the 1920's setting with the hard boiled PI and his slimy cohorts. Great stuff. Throw in a little HP Lovecraft for good measure, maybe spice it up with some magic and bam....instant fun."
