The Knight of Cups: The Danse, Book 1

by Kevin Wright

Overview

While investigating a gangland murder, Chicago Police Detective Tom Chapel discovers that the world is darker than he'd ever dreamed possible -- a world where evil is very real, where creatures like vampires gather in dark alleyways, and where the most dangerous predator isn't always what you'd think. Are Chapel's experience and skills as a cop up to the task, or are they a liability? And just who is Pieter Durant? There are things hunting in the night that even the monsters fear...

About the Author

Kevin Wright just can't stop sharing his love of history with the rest of the world -- his offices are littered with overstuffed bookshelves, antique maps, and collections of weapons on the walls. Born and raised in Illinois and a lifelong Chicagophile, he spent a few years teaching Argumentation and coaching the Debate Team at Illinois State University, but then settled into writing, teaching history classes, and pastoring in Central Illinois, as well as teaching Logic and Critical Thinking at Spoon River College. He's also husband to a very supportive wife, and father to two loving children (not including the dog).

His debut novel, The Knight of Cups, is garnering praise from reviewers, such as "There were times that I couldn't put it down because I just HAD to see what was going to happen to the characters" and "It is several genres that aren't usually combined, rolled into a cohesive and compelling tale. Somehow it manages to be suspenseful and hilarious at the same time."

And look for The Queen of Pentacles -- the second book of The Danse trilogy!

Editorial Reviews

"Kevin Wright has knocked down several 'genre walls'. My best attempt to explain it to someone came out like this: 'It's like Mr. Wright invited a few different genres over for a dark, intriguing, occasionally droll, fantastic, sometimes gruesome dinner party. And everyone got on famously.'"-- sixstringnickel, Amazon.com

"The characters were realistic and the story, despite fantastical elements, was entirely believable, and I found myself at times wondering just how real all of this actually was and questioning everything I thought I knew."--Josiah Reinke, Amazon.com
