Urban Fantasy - Rogue Private Investigator

Derek Adams is a Glasgowegian private investigator who apparently has experience dealing with the outre elements of Glasgow. He is hired to invite a set of old army buddies to a meeting before their souls are reaped. It seems that this group while drunk one evening casually sold their souls to a fellow soldier for the equivalent of pretzels and a couple of beers. Now, thirty years later, their debt is being called.

This is essentially an enjoyable short story, albeit broken into a series of short chapters. The action moves along and the main character is suitably humorous and engaging. The Glasgow setting makes a nice change of pace from London, as does the fact that the main character is not a magical adept himself.

Another case for Derek Adams, a man, and his military buddies accidentally sold their souls thirty years ago for “three beers and a packet of crisps”.

You'll get the usual from this series, sleuthing, Scottish accents, and drinking. Lots of drinking. The story is short but has a lot of twists and turns with the characters, and the ending has a really dark implication.

It's a fun and quick read, and since it's free it's no devil's bargain.
