About this listen

 Fetch Philips has nothing left to believe in. Which is why he's surprised when the people of Sunder City start to believe in him...

Rumour has it that Fetch is only one who can bring magic back into the world. So when a man is murdered in a way that can only be explained as magical, Fetch is brought in on the case. A case which just might unearth things best left buried...

This sequel to The Last Smile in Sunder City follows the adventures of Fetch Phillips - a character destined to be loved by readers of Ben Aaronovitch, Jim Butcher and Terry Pratchett's Discworld.©2020 Luke Arnold Action & Adventure Fantasy Fiction Magic Paranormal

Critic reviews

Sunder City [is] an evocative creation, it has echoes of Ankh-Morpork, but also a broken melancholy all of its own
All stars

Great urban fantasy noir, with a main character always in search of a redemption he doesn't think he deserves. Opposing forces seek to claim or reclaim the world and both want Fetch for their own purposes. Which side will he pick? Or maybe, just maybe, he'll forge his own path to the future.

melancholic but with a hint of hope

Brilliant book series, Luke really knocks it out the park with his cast of characters and his delivery of each one.
So beautifully written where it can make you laugh, empathise or feel sad.

Loved it.

Even better than the first. Be forewarned though - it will probably make you cry.

Amazing second book from Luke Arnold. talented actor, written and narrator. He is honing his craft rapidly and his level of fitness is suprisining for a debut series from an author. the world grips you, the characters stick to you and the story holds your emotions hostage and your moral compass is completely tested. I await the next installment eagerly!

What a broken boy is Fetch!
