The Ruthless Relic: A Djinn and Tonnick Murder Mystery

By Steve A. Zuckerman

An ancient secret. A down-and-out detective. A woman who's not entirely human.

Private Investigator Mark Tonnick's life is going nowhere fast. His license has lapsed, his wallet is empty, and he's one step away from sleeping in his car. Then a mysterious woman walks into his world-offering cash, cryptic instructions, and a case that sounds more like a riddle.

Her name is Delinda Djinn. She's brilliant, beautiful, and centuries old. Tonnick has no idea what he's getting into, only that it involves a missing man, a cursed relic, and a trail of danger stretching back to King Solomon himself.

What begins as a routine missing-person gig quickly unravels into a battle against powerful forces-both ancient and modern-that will test Tonnick's grip on reality and force Delinda to confront a past she thought was buried forever.

The Ruthless Relic launches the Djinn and Tonnick series with wit, grit, and a supernatural twist. A genre-bending mystery where noir meets myth, perfect for fans of The Dresden Files, The X-Files, and classic pulp detective fiction with a magical edge.
