Description
"Something is coming, and beside it, societies of black magicians engaged in international conspiracies are child's play."
Disturbed by a vision of a great evil awakening, the magician known only as Drake must leave what he hoped would be his final retirement in Northumbria and return to Boston. There, with the help - and hindrance - of an enigmatic occult society, Drake must solve perplexing crimes, confront vicious murderers, and - hardest of all - guide lost souls back to themselves before it is too late.
Equal parts urban noir, occult detective, and magical primer, The Elucidations of Drake is the first volume of the thrilling Drake Chronicles

Person
Bill Koch has had a lifetime love of mystery and detective stories and has been haunted by Drake since they first "met" when he lived in Boston. During the day he is a college professor teaching philosophy and by night he is a practicing occultist and pagan. Under the pen name of Kadmus he has published the book True to the Earth: Pagan Political Theology with Sul Books and has a new book Learning from Legendary Practitioners: A Necromantic Journey into History, Myth, and the Practice of Magic with Hadean Press. With future volumes of the Drake Chronicles already in progress he has many more mysteries to share.
