What to expect
From USA Today bestselling author Keith R.A. DeCandido comes a paranormal mystery of epic proportions.
When Detective Domenica Kiernan solved the murder of a mayor’s aide—killed by a vampire—she never imagined she’d find herself at the vanguard of the NYPD’s latest special squad: the Supernatural Crimes Unit.
Tasked with closing cases involving magic and monsters, the SCU has dealt with a shape-changing domovoy committing assault in Chelsea, the murder of a kappa on City Island, a thieving Taotie in Chinatown—and their latest: two murder victims whose corpses have been liquefied by a powerful spell.
Kiernan and the rest of the SCU must find the connection between the two victims and figure out who cast the spell that destroyed the corpses. Soon, their investigation leads to a malevolent magic-user who yearns for limitless power, whose plans go far beyond disposing of dead bodies. He’ll stop at nothing to achieve his goals—including kidnapping Bobby, Kiernan’s ten-year-old son.
The SCU has no choice: They must go rogue to find Bobby and stop the wizard before he unleashes hell on Earth!
Critics Review
“‘It’s New York. They find a way.’ Keith R.A. DeCandido’s latest series opener is a fast-moving read that mixes solid police procedurals and city politics with a touch of humor and a lot of magic. Weird is no big deal to the citizens of New York, and the officers of the Supernatural Crimes Unit are like any other, apart from the silver bullets and magically reinforced jail cells. The elected officials, mob bosses, and celebrities are neck-deep in scandal and corruption, mixed with drugs and ritual magic. DeCandido doesn’t believe in characters without back stories or relatives, so they feel real enough that you want them to make it to the end of the story. Come for the crime drama, stay for the cryptids and the pop-culture references. It’s an engrossing cop story with magic and heart. You’ll find yourself involved from page one, scrolling fast to find out what will happen next.”
“Keith DeCandido is a remarkable storyteller. Fasten your seatbelt and open the book!”
“If you’re looking for probable cause to pick up Keith R.A. DeCandido’s latest series, here it is: From its oddly unconventional investigators to its rogues gallery of the most unusual suspects ever assembled, Supernatural Crimes Unit: NYPD is fresh, fun, and exciting. It blends DeCandido’s trademark witty banter with his knack for crafting utterly compelling procedural mysteries. Does this mean I’m actually confessing to being a fan of Keith’s new series? If that’s a crime, Your Honor, I’m guilty as charged.”
“DeCandido seamlessly blends two subgenres—urban fantasy and cop novel—into a fascinating fantasy world and an entertaining ensemble of detectives, and comes up with a truly original New York story.”
