The Last Hour Between Worlds

A whip-smart adventure fantasy packed with reality-bending magic, and sapphic romance, The Last Hour Between Worlds is the brilliant launch of a new series from David Gemmell Award-nominated author, Melissa Caruso. In the Deep Echoes, no one can save you. Star investigator Kembral Thorne has a few hours away from her newborn, and she just wants to relax and enjoy the year-turning party. But when people start dropping dead, she´s got to get to work. Especially when she finds that mysterious forces are plunging the whole party down through layers of reality and into nightmare. One layer down: It´s no big deal. Stay alert, and you´ll be fine. Two, three layers down: Natural laws are negotiable, and things get very strange. Four layers down: There are creatures with eyes in their teeth and walls that drip blood. Most people who fall this far never return. Luckily, Kem isn´t most people. But as cosmic powers align and the hour grows late, she´ll have to work with her awfully compelling nemesis, notorious cat burglar Rika Nonesuch, for a chance to save her city-though not her night off.
