He thinks he is one of a kind - until he encounters other entities walking the fine line between life and death. One inbetweener is a sorcerer.

They've already taken out some of NYCOD's finest, leaving Carlos desperate to stop their master before he opens up the entrada to the Underworld - which would destroy the balance between the living and the dead. But in uncovering this man's identity, Carlos confronts the truth of his own life - and death...

Where does Half-Resurrection Blues rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I really did enjoy this one, certainly ranks in my top 10, maybe top 5, a combination of engrossing storyline and rhythmic, masterful telling from the authorWhat did you like best about this story?
I think this story had a lot of the ingredients that I like, snappy tempo, noire setting, bit of a dark feel without being too relentless about it, and the narration is a treat, Daniel really knows how to bring his own story alive with a rhythm and intensity that suits the materialIf you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
