Pinnacle City by Carter Matt
Good and evil team up to bring down corruption in this pulpy mash-up of superheroes and noir detectives.
“In this skillfully constructed secondary-world noir novel, having superpowers isn’t always so super, and everyone has something to hide. . . By allowing everyone to be a little morally grey, Carter and Titchenell spin a superhero story with staying power.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Pinnacle City embraces its own weirdness, which is a good thing. Solid characters with believable emotional arcs and good worldbuilding propel this unlikely story forward."
—Elitist Book Reviews
“A rollicking take on the all-American superhero tale. It’s Stan Lee meets Dashiell Hammett, with just a little Clive Barker thrown in for good measure.”
—Scott Kenemore, author of The Grand Hotel and Zombie, Ohio
“Lively and endearing, funny and hip, Pinnacle City puts gumshoe to cape and in a fantastic adult alternate history throbbing with modern pop-cultural conflict and absurdities.”
—Johnny Worthen, award-winning author of The Finger Trap
