Description
Inspector Hal Hawthorne is the brightest mind in Kensington’s police division. He is stern, feared and obsessed with his cases. But beneath this facade lies a secret that could destroy his life.
November is a young wizard who knew a murdered woman and has now become the next target. Overnight, he turns one cold inspector’s world upside down.
Sergeant Robert Donoghue is the new partner of Kensington’s most notorious inspector. All he really cares about is finding a wife.
London, December 1886. A woman is gruesomely murdered, an organ defying human anatomy missing from her chest. Investigating the case, Inspector Hal Hawthorne realises that the victim wasn’t human. And neither is her murderer. After a chance encounter with a wizard, he is hurled into a world filled with unbelievable creatures, enchanted places and dark magic. Soon, Hal not only races against time to catch the murderer but also battles with himself and who he really is. It is a case that turns into the adventure of a lifetime. A case that will change Hal’s life forever.
The Wizard and the Welshman is a mystery filled with dark magic, love and friendship, where the boundaries between reality and magic blur, and the true character of one man is revealed.
This book is the first part in a trilogy.
