    About this series

    The life of magic-using gumshoe Rick Walker has gotten a lot more complicated than usual. Unhappy with where his life is headed, and with a potential killer on a revenge trip lurking in the shadows, Rick finds solace at the bottom of a Scotch bottle. But when an old acquaintance hires him for a dangerous but well-paying job, Rick pulls himself up by his bootstraps and, with the encouragement of his good-natured assistant, decides to get his life in order.

    When Rick receives a warning from the very person he's supposed to be gathering information on, however, he soon finds himself between a rock and hard place.

    With the help of an odd assortment of companions, Rick confronts his demons, both figurative and literal. Will he have the chance to redeem himself before his time runs out?

    This is the final chapter of "Mystery, Murder, and Magic".
