Know Your Rites, An Inspector Paris Mystery

A humorous urban fantasy featuring a British detective inspector investigating a murder mystery in a magical realm.

Inspector Nick Paris has become an unlikely celebrity in the magical world after stopping a demon invasion. He is desperate to return to tackling more ordinary crimes on his home turf of Manchester.

However, the fates aren’t in his favor when he is called upon again by his paranormal police colleagues to solve a gruesome killing. The only suspect is a dwarf trying to make it in the rap business.

But are there more mysterious matters afoot?

Paris is thrust back into the world of magic and murder—but who will face the music?

Andy Redsmith

Andy Redsmith was born in Liverpool and grew up in Runcorn. For university he moved the enormous distance to Salford and has lived in Manchester ever since. He says the people there are great, but we don’t talk about football.

He worked for many years as a project manager in the computing industry, a job which really is every bit as exciting as it sounds. Eventually the call of writing became too hard to ignore and he went off to do that instead. Over the years in IT he worked with some very clever people and some complete weirdos, none of whom bear any resemblance to the characters in his books. Honest.

He has a wonderful wife, a great son, and a loft full of old Marvel comics. One day he’ll get round to selling them. That’s the comics, not the family.
