Necromancer’s Gambit, by Nic Wilson, is a magical detective story. When Knight is called to investigate a murder, he’s shocked when he discovers the identity of the victim. As the plot unfolds, things go downhill and he’s in for more surprises.The book is an excellent read. The clean, concise writing style reminded me of Lawrence Block, especially Hit Man. Knight is rather like Keller, with his wry inner dialogue and street-smart savvy. With his magical abilities, Knight is different than Keller, although I can imagine Keller would dig the magic. Puns and pop culture references keep the book entertaining. With a great story and compelling characters, the reader is drawn in from the first paragraph and on through the book.I’ll echo Mr. Wilson’s thoughts at the back of the book … “I really love this story.”
