The Joe Mack Adventures Volume 1
by Gail Z. Martin & Larry N. Martin
Genre: Urban Fantasy, Roaring 20's Monster Hunter
When
you ask a god for favors, be careful what you wish for. You just
might get it.
From the bloody steel mill strikes of
Pennsylvania rose a true man of steel, a steelworker transformed into
something more by the power of the old gods. Josef Magarac was a
brave man, a strong man, a hard-working immigrant who only wanted a
better life for his family. Then he was murdered, and an ancient
Slavic god brought him back to life, gave him new abilities, and a
mission to protect those who can’t protect themselves.
Now
he’s Joe Mack, and together with his allies, Secret Service agent
Jack West and heiress Sarah Grace McAllen Harringworth, he handles
the hard cases the regular feds won’t touch like magic-wielding
mobsters, Lovecraftian monsters, and secret supernatural
societies.
The Joe Mack Adventures: Volume One is a non-stop
thrill ride full of paranormal action, found family, dark magic, and
loyal friends.
This is a collection of four books in the Joe
Mack Shadow Council Files by award-winning author team Gail Z. &
Larry N. Martin, authors of the Spells, Salt, & Steel and the
Wasteland Marshals series. The Shadow Council Case Files are
historical fantasy novellas set in the world of Quincy Harker, Demon
Hunter, that tell the true stories behind the tall tales surrounding
some of the world’s most famous (and infamous) folk heroes.

Sun, Chicagoland,
and Spellbound.
