Last Night of Freedom was a whirlwind of a book, impossible to turn away from until you knew how it ended. The nastiness of the characters and the scenario were so powerful, I felt genuinely uncomfortable until the very last page (and maybe for a while after, too).

This was my introduction to detective Felix Renn and his uncanny ability to happen upon cases which involve ... well ... the uncanny. Renn feels like a comfortable old jacket - you know exactly where you are with it, thanks to his homage to classic detectives of fiction of the past - and yet maybe there are some things in the pockets you weren't aware of, and this keeps the story fresh.
The world building of The Black Lands and the potential therein for more stories has left me hungry for more adventures from Renn.

Soon another portal appeared. Then another. Today, the government secures every portal they find, but with more and more opening, and no idea how to predict or prevent the next one's arrival, society is teetering on the brink of panic.

Felix Renn knows the Black Lands all too well. His career as a private investigator has dragged him closer to it than most, and has garnered him a reputation for…
