In Plain Sight by Dan Willis

In Plain Sight by Dan Willis

When a magical plague is released in a Depression-era New York soup kitchen, private detective Alex Lockerby finds himself in a desperate hunt to catch a madman before he can strike again.

His investigations lead Alex to a famous thief, a daring heist, and the search for a mythic book of ancient magic, but none of that brings him any closer to finding the man responsible for the massacre. With the police and New York's Council of Sorcerers desperate to find the culprit, Alex becomes a suspect himself, thanks to his ties to the priest who ran the soup kitchen.

Now Alex has his book of spells, a pack of matches and four days to find out where the plague came from, or that authorities will hang the crime squarely on him.

--Dan Willis is an awesome writer and you should buy this book. - NYT bestselling author Larry Correia.

Dan grew up among the most experienced of storytellers, politicians, having been born in Washington, DC and raised just east of there in Maryland. Despite this, he chose to be a writer instead of a professional liar or thief. He relocated to Utah to pursue his education in writing. He worked as a mechanic, a customer service representative, a programmer, a web designer, a software tester, and, on occasion, a copy writer, as did everyone who studies writing. Dan's writing eventually drew the attention of Wizards of the Coast, who hired him to write for their DragonLance: The New Adventures series. Dan just collaborated on a new alternate history Civil War trilogy, Dragons of the Confederacy, with NYT bestselling novelist Tracy Hickman.
