The Last God Norris Black

Whiskey and eggs. Bullets and blood. Gideon Brown is about to have the worst week of his life. It might also be the last week of his life.




After a traumatic encounter claims the lives of people under his protection, retired detective Gideon Brown wants nothing more than to curl up inside a whiskey bottle for the rest of his life. But a violent murder outside his apartment sends him out the front door and into the harsh, unforgiving light of Crash City.




Before he knows it, Gideon is on the run in a city left in ruins by the death and fall of a deity known as the Last God, hunted by a shadowy figure with the power to bring the dead back to life in the most horrific of ways.




Along the way he finds a pair of unlikely allies in a rookie soldier of the militaristic Seraph and a reclusive wych. Together the three must solve the mystery behind the corpse of the Last God that still lies in a devastated quarter of the city known as the Battery. All the while dodging murderous street gangs, unholy terrors, and a violent city police force.




Before long Gideon learns the stakes extend far beyond the environs of Crash City.




And all he wanted was some breakfast.
