The Pandora Gambit (Miami Knights, #1) / Miami Knights (ePub)

Cops and Robbers to Magic and Monsters. The world just got a lot more complicated for Detective Ray Bradley.

Heralded as Miami Vice meets Lord of the Rings, The Pandora Gambit is a low magic, low fantasy, epic, set in modern day.

The streets of Miami are flooded with a mysterious drug that has the populace seeing monsters.
Ray Bradley is the undercover narcotics detective assigned to work the case. However, things quickly get out of hand when a secretive DEA agent shows up with the credentials to take over.
Ray soon finds himself immersed in a world he no longer understands. A world of myth and legend. A world of Elves and Orcs. But, what's more odd than that. It seems they've been here the entire time, living among us.

Dust off your blazer and grab a cocktail. The Pandora Gambit is going to take you for a ride!

Weighing his options, Crum lifted the iron device and carried it toward Ray, hoping it would continue to hold against the rapid fire of machine guns.

Digging his way free of the drums, Ray peeked over the pile of metal. A barrage of bullets riddled the area, but it was clear they didn't know exactly where he was. Seeing Crum, cowering behind what appeared to be a makeshift shield, Ray drew his gun and took aim at the SUV. In an attempt to calm himself, he exhaled and squeezed the trigger. His bullet hit the post between the front and back seats. He was still shaken. His body trembled. He needed to breathe. Only then would he be able to hit his target.

Hearing the machine guns slow, Crum knew at least one of them was reloading. This was his chance. Setting the bottom edge of his wall in the dirt, he drew his Desert Eagle. Leaning around the barrier, Crum popped off four shots. He ducked back, just as another volley riddled his position. Something caught his eye as he returned to cover. The grenade Ray had been given was lying in the dirt.

This one of a kind urban fantasy is unlike any you've read before. You won't find vampires and werewolves in their ever typical battle of the ages troupe like you'd usually see in this type of story. Instead, you'll find fast cars, pretty women, high society, and good music, rolled into an enjoyable tale that seamlessly blends a fast-paced buddy cop duo with the thrill of epic modern fantasy.

If you enjoyed The Pandora Gambit you'll love the second installment in the Miami Knights series, The 95th District!
