Jay Russell
AwardsBritish Fantasy Society (nominee)
| "An acerbically funny collision between Hollywood lowlife and the gods and demons of Japanese mythology that's as stylishly gritty as Dashiell Hammett. Jay Russell is a major new talent." Paul McAuley |
| "Part supernatural thriller, part hardboiled detective yarn, part comic Hollywood novel and all page-turner. Celestial Dogs hits a bulls-eye on every target at which it takes aim." Peter Atkins |
Marty Burns was famous. Once.
Now he's just another fallen star, earning his keep as a low-rent private eye. But everything Marty has ever believed in is about to be shattered when the hunt for a missing hooker draws him into an epic struggle between age-old foes.
Two ancient cults have brought their eternal battle from the mystic mountains of Japan to the seedy streets of Los Angeles. Marty must confront vicious pimps, suspicious cops, Hollywood mega-moguls and all-powerful demons from the pages of myth as his life is turned inside-out. He is forced to confront that most difficult, but fundamental of questions: What do you believe in?
Awesome supernatural powers have renewed their endless fight, with the soul of humanity hanging in the balance.
Only this time, there's Marty Burns. Who's about to become famous...
Again.
