Найти книгу: "Dangerous Hardboiled Magicians"

Cowabunga, schweetheart! A book in the manner of Surfing Samurai Robots! In a Los Angeles that is something like ours–but in which magic has become an integral part of society–P.I. Turner Cronyn doesn't know why he's being threatened by a supernatural being. Does it have anything to do with the fact that zombies looking like him are turning up all over town? And who killed Misty Morning, the beautiful mage he was supposed to be protecting? But on the bright side, a beautiful woman named Astraea Scales seems determined to help with his investigations. There's just one little problem: is she really a Greek goddess related to the Three Fates–or does she just look like one? This is just one of the life-and-death questions that Cronyn must answer to avoid being made a zombie himself. Great fantasy and mystery adventure–the first in a series.

‘Minerva was the Roman goddess of warriors and wisdom. William McGonagall is celebrated as the worst poet in British history. There was something irresistible to me about his name, and the idea that such a brilliant woman might be a distant relative of the buffoonish McGonagall.’ – J.K. Rowling Pottermore Presents is a collection of J.K. Rowling’s writing from the Pottermore archives: short reads originally featured on pottermore.com with some exclusive new additions.
