Exile

0/5 ( ratings)

Keith’s been in exile for sixteen years.

Today, he’s going home.

When a botched hit leaves Keith Murphy on the run with a necromancer’s soul trapped in a bullet, he makes a beeline for the one city where it’s impossible to track him using magic. Problem is, the Gold Coast is ruled by a demon whose been nursing a grudge ever since Keith crossed him, and the old friends and allies he counted on helping are none-to-pleased to see Keith home.

Keith’s got to lie low and avoid trouble, but that’s easier said than done. His ex-boss wants to press Keith into service as a hitman, his ex-girlfriend is looking for answers regarding his disappearance all those years ago, and his best friend’s offer of help is tainted by a turn to the dark side in Keith’s absence.

Then, of course, there’s the apocalyptic cult desperate to recover the leader’s spirit and the death curse that just might wipe out everything if Keith can’t find a way to stop it.

Good thing Keith’s guns are loaded, and he’s got a whole lot of practice killing the things that go bump in the night. All he’s got to do is hold on and stay hidden until the heat dies down, and everything will be just fine…

A fast-paced Australian urban fantasy thriller full of magic, demons, betrayal, and deals with the devil. If you ever wanted a little John Constantine blended in with your John Wick, you’re going to love Keith Murphy.
