About this listen
In a city that lost its magic, an angel falls in a downtown street. His wings are feathered, whole—undeniably magical—the man clearly flew, because he left one hell of a mess when he plummeted into the sidewalk.
But what sent him up? What brought him down? And will the answers help Fetch bring the magic back for good?
Working alongside necromancers, genies, and shadowy secret societies, through the wildest forests and dingiest dive bars, this case will leave its mark on Fetch's body, his soul, and the fate of the world.
Praise for the Fetch Phillips novels:
"Superb... With a lead who would be at home in the pages of a Raymond Chandler or James Ellory novel and a nicely twisty plot, this installment makes a strong case for Arnold's series to enjoy a long run." ―Publishers Weekly
"Arnold's universe has everything, including the angst of being human. The perfect story for adult fantasy fans—a tough PI and a murder mystery wrapped around the mysticism of Hogwarts, sprinkled with faerie dust." ―Library Journal (starred review)

"A marvelous noir voice; Arnold has captured the spirit of the genre perfectly and wrapped it around a fantasy setting with consummate skill."—Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones on The Last Smile in Sunder City
"Superb... With a lead who would be at home in the pages of a Raymond Chandler or James Ellory novel and a nicely twisty plot, this installment makes a strong case for Arnold's series to enjoy a long run."—Publishers Weekly on Dead Man in a Ditch
"[T]he focus on meticulous worldbuilding and highly detailed backstory as well as the cast of fully developed and memorable characters are unarguable strengths....The first installment of an effortlessly readable series that could be the illegitimate love child of Terry Pratchett and Dashiell Hammett."—Kirkus on The Last Smile in Sunder City
"A richly imagined world...Winningly combining the grit of Chinatown with the quirky charm of Harry Potter, this series opener is sure to have readers coming back for more."—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Last Smile in Sunder City
"This off-piste detective story set in a magical world, now in meltdown, has verve and charm in abundance and a rough diamond hero with quite a story to tell."—Andrew Caldecott, author of Rotherweird on The Last Smile in Sunder City
novels myself I think what made the option of also listening to the audiobooks completely irresistible was my utter delight in discovering that author Luke Arnold had actually narrated them himself.
When it comes to storytelling there is really nothing more enjoyable than listening to a novel narrated by the same creatively adept mind as the one who penned it.
After listening to the audiobook for OFITF, I was thrilled with the realisation that it has given me so much more insight into the true personalities of the wide range of characters and their many, varying and unique idiosyncrasies.
Being an incredibly gifted voice actor, Luke takes full opportunity to portray his characters complete with well executed accents combined with perfectly fitting mannerisms. Every aspect of his writing and narration compounds to create an extra depth and dimension that in no way is ever likely to be fully imagined by anyone simply absorbing words off a page, regardless of how astute and imaginative the reader or how eloquent and expressive the author may be.
It becomes almost a gift to be (re)introduced to characters as they were fully intended to be portrayed, humans and creatures to everything in-between brought to life from the direct imaginings of the author.
I can say with complete certainty these books are easily one of the best fantasy series I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Utterly addictive from beginning to end, it’s hard to pull yourself back to reality once you find yourself introduced and fully immersed into the remarkable, magical and complex world of Fetch Phillips.
Luke is undoubtedly a rising star in the world of fiction. He is a exceptionally gifted young writer with enviable talent and an outstanding proficiency for story telling.
His novels are perfectly indulgent
listening for anyone who enjoys the works of much beloved and well renowned authors such as Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman or JRR Tolkien.
Engaging, immersive & addictive from start to finish. The third instalment in the Fetch Phillips series does not disappoint.
