    Excellent fourth novel in the Daniel Faust series
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 27, 2015*

It was a surprise to me when I became a fan of the "urban fantasy" genre, which happened when I started reading a certain series of such novels some years back after a TV adaptation was shown.  I branched out, discovering close to a dozen authors who write in the genre that I follow.  Craig Schaefer is one of those authors and I very much like the Daniel Faust series.  The thing about Daniel Faust, is he's a dark hero, an antihero if you like, in the urban fantasy style of fiction.  Daniel has a past which he doesn't admire himself, and he still involves himself in gambits that are questionable.  Still, there's much about Faust I like and the work he's doing is very often well more admirable than he himself thinks.  Here, Daniel needs bucks and takes a difficult assignment, one that rings alarm bells for him at the get-go, and in the process of executing that assignment, things go sideways in a big way.  It's what he does afterwards that's the real story.  While you could certainly start with this fourth Daniel Faust novel, I recommend starting with the first one, _The Long Way Down_, and going forward from there.  Faust is interesting.  He carries a magically imbued deck of cards with him and, as a sorcerer, that deck of cards is, for him, a tool and a weapon, and part and parcel of his profession.  He's also a member of an underground magical community that inhabits Las Vegas, which he describes as his "family", and the members of that magical family are an important part of each story and a part of what makes for an entertaining read.  Most of his exploits take place against the background of Las Vegas, which is the perfect venue for nefarious paranormal ventures involving scams.  Things are, in Daniel Faust's world, so often not what they seem to be, which is, I think, true of the real Las Vegas.  In this fourth novel, Daniel Faust ends up in Chicago for most of the action, however, and we readers are made privy to the magical mob in the Windy City.  It turns out that both Chicago and Vegas are magically "connected", if you get my meaning.  Apparently this novel is the first of a three-novel story arc and, frankly, I can't wait for the next book and the one after.  Craig Schaefer is a skilled writer and a great story teller who exercises a lot of imagination.  Wonder of wonders, between him and his editor, I wasn't subjected to spelling errors and the incorrect choice of a homophone here and there, which is one of the complaints I have about a lot of the eBooks I read nowadays.  I've deliberately withheld plot details in this review, because the best way to learn those is to read the book and be entertained in the process.  You'll have fun doing just that and, so you should.

    A very good read.

Another good one by SchaferThis one has Danny Faust needing money. He still owes the guy he got the weapons from. The weapons that helped him defeat Carmichael and her minions.Faust also has the FBI all over him. Its impossible to do a burglary to get the money to pay what he owes.The FBI agent in charge wants Faust behind bars and since she's a witch with abilities she's always around.So far Danny's lawyer has kept him out of jail. Of course Danny hasn't done anything yet but it sure as hell ain't from lack of trying.Nicky has a job for him. Its a job in Texas. Danny is of two minds about this job simply because Nicky is the contact. A Nicky he has a far from great relationship with.Nicky decides he needs to go to Texas and see about this job. He really needs to pay the man for those weapons.He gets to the airport after sending the FBI on a wild goose chase so they have no idea where he's gone.At the airport at jet is waiting for him. Seems the man who needs his expertize won the lottery. A forty million dollar win. The jet is something he bought with that money.Once on board he meets the mans PA Fleiss by name and Panchenco a guard. Seems Danny has to pass a test before he gets to Texas.So begins another great Danny Faust read.This one has Danny, Cait, the millionaire Drake, a Drake who has problems big time,  the FBI, a dagger that Drake wants, a poker game, a coin, a man named Fawcett, murder, Coop and his nephew Augie, a plan to get the gold coin thats one of the grand prizes in the poker game, Danny's occult family, the Chicago mob, doubts about Cait,  a necromancer named Echols, a woman named Nadine, another lady named Freddie,  a hound from Prince Malpas's court,  betrayal that lands Danny in jail, and one kick ass read full of surprises.Five Stars.

SCHAEFER!!!!!!Every  TIME I start one of his booksI lose an entire day when I look up and I'm threebooks further in the series with no idea how I got there.As you can imagine Schaefer is an outstanding author.Daniel Faust is a thief.A sorcerer.Sometimes gangster.Surrounded by the Familyhe has built up around himthey fight off threats to theirlively hoodand to the world.Always on the side of the Angelsjust not with the same tactics.
