Savage Creatures : Big Bang Press : 9780990484462 : 0990484467 : 31 May 2016 : Francis Harding has always been good for one thing: doing what his family tells him. So when his mother asks him to travel across the Atlantic to hunt down his missing sister Catherine, he goes without hesitation-only to find himself an unwelcome shapeshifter in a strange city, looking for a woman who may not want to be found. Without any alternative, he finds himself turning to London's supernatural underworld for help, recruiting a slippery but compelling investigator named Jamie. Her particular brand of magic makes Francis's skin crawl, but it might just help him track down his sister. A fantasy noir set against the backdrop of a version of London just a half step away from our own, Savage Creatures is a haunting meditation on the destructive power and vital importance of family that will rivet readers from first page to last.
