A soul-stealing Santa is working his way through New York, and the city’s supernatural police squad lands on his list. Urban fantasy police procedural with winter ritual murders, courtroom drama and gallows humor.

A supernatural crime thriller with a soul-stealing Santa, winter ritual murders, and a case that puts a detective on the naughty list.

Santa knows when you’ve been bad or good. He just doesn’t care.

Detective Leery Oriscoe thought the holiday season would bring eggnog, parties, and maybe even a certain succubus standing under the mistletoe. Instead, he and his partner Dru Nogan catch a case involving bodies in the snow, ancient magic, and a very different kind of Kris Kringle.

A lich is any creature that achieves immortality through magic. Old Kris figured it out a long time ago.

It takes sacrifice.

And this year, he wants to sacrifice Leery.

With Christmas Eve closing in and a soul-stealing Santa loose in New York, Leery and Dru will need to survive the holidays long enough to Slay Fell Things.

Slay Fell Things is Book Nine in the Claw & Warder series, perfect for readers who love supernatural police procedurals, paranormal courtroom drama, sharp gallows humour, and urban fantasy in the vein of Jim Butcher and Ben Aaronovitch.
