Description
Once a detective, all he wants now is to run his café in peace. Sunder City is still recovering from the sudden and violent end of magic, and if one man can't solve all its problems, he can at least stop some people going hungry. But when a kid on the run shelters in Fetch's café, and a chain of gruesome murders begins among Sunder's high and mighty, trouble is brought to Fetch's door.
There's a word whispered on the wind, and that word is revolution...
A brand new fantasy adventure from Luke Arnold; a private detective solves cases in a fantasy world where magic has disappeared.
Praise for this series:
'An effortlessly readable series that could be the illegitimate love child of Terry Pratchett and Dashiell Hammett' Kirkus
'Sure to have readers coming back for more' Publishers Weekly
'A marvellous noir voice; Luke Arnold has captured the spirit of the genre perfectly' Peter McLean
'Sunder City [is] an evocative creation, it has echoes of Ankh-Morpork, but also a broken melancholy all of its own' SFX

Great follow-up in the Series
I was so excited when I saw that a new Fetch Philips book was on the horizon and I was not disappointed. I tried to not finish it as fast so the experience would last longer and I think that tell you enough about how much I like the series. The characters are layered and though all of them have their flaws - especially Fetch- they are all relatale. And I felt for Fetch so much in this book, most of all at the end. Luke Arnold manages a balance between sarcasm, actual social criticism (I felt like Whisper in the Wind was in some parts reflecting our current society quite clearly) wistfulness and also really tender storytelling. I loved this part of the series and can not wait for the next one. Especially with THIS ending…
