Описание: A Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year
Carter & Lovecraft is a Pandoras box loaded with all the wonderfully twisted stuff I love, including a two-fisted homicide cop turned PI, warped realities, a mysterious bookstore, the Cthulhu mythos, a dash of romance, and creepy fish-men. Whats not to love? Jonathan L. Howard knows how to show his readers a wickedly good time. --Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author Dead Ringers
Daniel Carter used to be a homicide detective, but his last case--the hunt for a serial killer--went wrong in strange ways and soured the job for him. Now hes a private investigator trying to live a quiet life. Strangeness, however, has not finished with him.
First he inherits a bookstore in Providence from someone hes never heard of, along with an indignant bookseller who doesnt want a new boss. Shes Emily Lovecraft, the last known descendant of H.P. Lovecraft, the writer from Providence who told tales of the Great Old Ones and the Elder Gods, creatures and entities beyond the understanding of man.
Then people start dying in impossible ways, and while Carter doesnt want to be involved, hes beginning to suspect that someone else wants him to be. As Carter reluctantly investigates, he discovers that H. P. Lovecrafts tales were more than just fiction, and he must accept another unexpected, and far more unwanted, inheritance.
