Description:

Harry Potter meets Ocean’s Eleven.

FILE UNDER: Urban Fantasy [ The Mob & Magic | Ancient Secrets | Zombie Wizardry | Bet Your Life ] -- “Vegas Knights is a smart, slick, noir fantasy. If Elmore Leonard had written Harry Potter for grown-ups, it would read something like this.” – William King “Amortals (to paraphrase another sci-fi writer who, in my opinion, has nothing on Matt Forbeck) blew down the walls of my imagination.

" - The Founding Fields "The action sequences in *Vegas Knights* put to shame even the highest-budgeted action movies.  Where directors need millions of dollars in special effects and stunts, Forbeck uses language to much greater effect. " - The Ranting Dragon "Overall this is a fresh and suspenseful Urban Fantasy novel.  It is great entertainment, and if you have ... ### About the Author Matt Forbeck has worked full-time on fiction and games since 1989.
