Summary:

These are the first few chapters of what I hope will become a very long work of serial epic fantasy. (I aspire to being favorably compared with Robert Jordan, Stephen R. Donaldson, and George R.R. Martin.) I'll accept any and all feedback at this point. But I'm most specifically looking for feedback on the pacing of the novel, whether the action is too quiet (if you will) and really, what you believe is needed (if anything) to carry the momentum of the novel such that folks are waiting eagerly in line for the second book in the series.

When Detective Theodore Gill discovers a serial killer has breeched the small town of Chelsea, Michigan he realizes quickly that the investigation will be the hardest case he’s ever worked. Bizarre and strange things are happening to the victim’s bodies after they are murdered, and evidence simply vanishes. Mandy Steven’s has been assigned to work with Gill on the case, and together they are led down the dark path of deceit, as the man responsible for the murders taunts them, with trickery, and sometimes a treat, and before long the two of them become a part of the killer’s charade. When their world suddenly advances several months into the future over night, Mandy and Gill realize it is only a matter of time, before they too fall victims, to the dark man’s magic, and suddenly they become trapped in a game of cat and mouse when Tessa Johnson, and several of their co-workers disappear.

Soon the two of them realize, the dark man is much too powerful, and every lead they investigate, brings them closer to their own demise. What Gill and Mandy know is it is only a matter of time, before the dark man catches the two of them, and decides who’s going to live or die, and when it’s time for a: TRICKERY TREAT

Corrupt cops, Ogres, thirty six-year-old Siamese cats, and of course, the Netherworld. All in a day’s work when you’re trying to save a city from a baneful and simmering evil that’s about to be unleashed.
