Meet Keith Murphy, Australia’s only hit man dedicated to taking out dangerous and magical targets.

When Keith Murphy left the Gold Coast, he swore he’d never return. He wanted to leave behind the daily violence of working muscle for the local demons and prevent his girlfriend from getting sucked into the secret, supernatural underworld where Keith plied his trade. Better to use his skills as a hit man to the supernatural world, taking out the things that go bump in the night alongside his partner Danny Roark.

But sixteen years spent killing monsters, warlocks, and wizards is a hard way to atone for your past. Especially when you don’t have any magic of your own.

A botched job in the Adelaide hills threatens to end Keith’s long exile. He’s on the run with a necromancer’s soul trapped in the bullet, a death curse on his heels, and an apocalyptic cult baying for his blood. They’ve got dark magic, a lot of money, and fervid desire to resurrect their leader. Keith’s got his guns, a missing partner-in-crime, and one place with a safe-house strong enough to ward his location from the cult’s scrying.

Pity it’s the last place in the world he wants to go.

Especially now the demonic ex-boss he abandoned is running the whole damn city.

From Aurealis Award-Winner Peter M. Ball, Exile is the first book in the Gold Coast Ragnarök trilogy. If you love hardboiled action, dark magic, and a beleaguered anti-hero fighting against overwhelming odds, you’re going to love Keith Murphy.

 

File This Book Under: Hardboiled Urban Fantasy, Supernatural Criminals and Secret Worlds, Reckoning With the Past, Fighting Against the Odds, Alliances and Betrayals, Noir and Dark Magic, You Can't Go Home Again.

Read it if you loved Chuck Wendig’s The Blue Blazes, thought Jim Butcher’s Storm Front needed more guns, wondered if Lee Child’s Jack Reacher would make a great monster hunter, or always wanted the action of John Wick blended with the occult world of John Constantine.

PRAISE FOR THE KEITH MURPHY SERIES

All the grit and growl of the golden age detectives let loose upon the monsters and magics that keep us fascinated (and occasionally afraid) as we curl up on the couch at night. Ball is masterful in his use of tension, with a knack for keeping readers glued to the screen or page. His ability to showcase emotional connections and complications without devolving into self-pitying monologues or poetic meanderings give the stories an action movie vibe that adds tension and focus to the stories.” Kylie Thompson, HushHushBiz

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
