In the midst of the chaos, a serial killer has begun ritually sacrificing victims, their bodies strewn throughout the city. Lilac Antonis wants to stop the impending destruction of her city by summoning her mother, a blood god--even if she has to slit a few throats to do it. But evading her lover Arcadia and her friends means sneaking, lying, and even spilling the blood of people she loves. Alex and Cecil of Ace Investigations have been tasked with hunting down the killer, but as they close in--not knowing they're hunting their close friend Lilac--the detectives realize the gods may not have left willingly. As flooding drags this city of cars and neon screaming into the jaws of sea demons and Arcadia struggles to save the people as captain of the evacuation team, Lilac's ritual killings at last bear fruit, only to reveal her as a small piece in a larger plan. The gods' protection costs far more than anyone has ever known, and Alex and Cecil are running out of time to discover the true culprit behind the gods' disappearance before an ancient divine murder plot destroys them all. Set in an alternate reality which updates mythology to near-modern day, No Gods For Drowning is part dark fantasy, part noir detective story, and unlike anything you've read before, from an author whose imagination knows no boundaries. 650 0 $a Gods $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Monsters $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Serial murderers $x Fiction. 941 $a 4 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031028.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203015803.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230203010613.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220929013114.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2A620A9C3FBC11EDBAC5548D51ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
