HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? In the fourth novel of the Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O??Sullivan must pay his debts to cunning trickster god Coyote, a task that includes battling undead creatures of the night as well as a relentless hound of Hel and the goddess of death who commands it. ??[Kevin] Hearne is a terrific storyteller with a great snarky wit. . . . Neil Gaiman??s American Gods meets Jim Butcher??s Harry Dresden.???SFFWorld Cutting a deal with a trickster god rarely goes well for any human brave or foolish enough to try it, but Atticus doesn??t feel like he has a choice. With members of the Norse pantheon out for his blood, he can??t train his apprentice in peace, so he asks Coyote to help him fake his own death. The cost, however, might wind up being every bit as high as if he??d made no deal at all. There are things hiding in the Arizona desert that don??t want any company, and Coyote makes sure they know Atticus has arrived. And then there's the hound of Hel, Garm, who??s terribly difficult to shake and not at all convinced that Atticus is dead. Being tricked by a trickster is par for the course. But it??s the betrayal from someone he thought was a friend that shakes Atticus to the core and places his life in jeopardy. The real trick, he discovers, might be surviving his own faked death. Includes Kevin Hearne??s novella ??Two Ravens and One Crow?

Robert soon learns not all is as it seems including the Communist leanings of the former lover, Jan, and the love he thought Payton Pleydell had for his wife, Sylvia. Washington of the early 1950's is full of intrigue and paranoia about the rise of the Communism around the world making anyone a suspect when government information is unofficially released.
I have read MacInnes in the past and enjoyed her. This novel I found slow and wordy but as I was on a plane flying from Mexico to Toronto, it did make the flight seem short. Maybe I am being a little unfair so I try another of her efforts as many of them have very familiar titles. ( )
