"Vengeance never forgets a debt ...."
Darkwalker by E. L. Tettensor is a paranormal mystery set in a Victorianesque world where magic, mystery, and the supernatural collide.
Nicolas Lenoir is a police inspector. Once the best and the brightest he is now jaded and apathetic. Investigating a case of grave robbing Lenoir is just going through the motions and earning the disdain of his protege, Sergeant Bran Kody. When Lenoir's nine-year-old informant, Zach goes missing it looks like the two cases might have something in common and Lenoir finally has something to live for. but that might not be easy, he has reason to believe that the green-eyed man who haunts his memories and his nightmares is involved, too. Lenoir escaped the Darkwalker once, but he would be a fool to think he could do it again, but to save Zach's life he's going to have to try.
Dark and atmospheric with just a hint of magic. Add a supernatural spirit who relentlessly stalks his prey and a kidnapping/murder mystery. Toss in some well-turned phrases and a fast-paced, page-turning narrative, Mix in a brooding anti-hero that you'll learn to like in spite of yourself and a few well-drawn secondary characters you'll want to know better. Darkwalker has it all and ends with the promises of sequels to come.
Darkwalker is E. L. Tettensor's first novel.
I'm at a loss to provide readalikes for this book. I haven't read anything else quite like it.
