Description
The wild second adventure for unforgettable antiquities thief Owl—a modern-day "Indiana Jane" who reluctantly navigates the hidden supernatural world—from the pen of rising urban fantasy star Kristi Charish (The Kincaid Strange series). For fans of Kim Harrison, Jim Butcher, Jennifer Estep, Jenn Bennett, and the like.
Alix Hiboux, better known as Owl, international antiquities thief for hire, is settling into her new contract job for Vegas mogul Mr. Kurosawa, a red dragon with a penchant for ancient, supernatural artifacts. And now he has his sights set on some treasures of the mysterious Syrian City of the Dead that are sitting in a recluse's private collection.
There's just one wrinkle. To stop the resurrection of an undead army that could wreak havoc on Los Angeles, Owl must break into a heavily guarded archaeological sight in one of the most volatile regions in the world. A detour through Libya and a run-in with Somali pirates sends the clock ticking hastily toward total paranormal disaster.
Meanwhile, Alexander and the Paris vampires have stopped stalking Owl's apartment, but they have by no means forgotten their death grudge against her. To top everything off, Owl finds out the hard way that there is nothing heavenly about the City of Angels...

Working for a dragon has its dangers. Antiquities thief Alix "Owl" Hiboux steals for Mr. Kurosawa (the aforementioned dragon) but gets into trouble when she does a little extra pilfering on her own time. In addition, the IAA (International Archaeology Association) is after her because she is suspected of lifting artifacts from the off-limits Syrian City of the Dead. For once, Owl didn't commit the crime, but she agrees to retrieve some of these relics for Mr. Kurosawa from a collector in Los Angeles. In the process, she winds up cursed by the stolen goods and has to find a way into the city and clear her name, or be faced with deadly consequences. VERDICT Charish (Owl and the Japanese Circus), who never lets the action slack, delivers another captivating adventure. Readers might wish that Owl would show more personal growth, yet her prickly antisocial tendencies do soften a little as she tries to make her relationship with succubus boyfriend Rynn work.--MM
