In Miami, death is just another hustle.

Archmagus Pablo Díaz is Miami’s most overworked necromancer, and he’d like you to know he didn’t ask for this life. Unfortunately, Miami keeps dying — violently, inconveniently, and in places that ruin his shoes.

Struggling to meet the expectations of his Cuban-born father – and swamped by Papi's medical bills – Pablo sells his abilities to anyone willing to pay, from grieving widows to homicide detectives.

But when a pair of mutilated corpses wash out of Biscayne Bay and point their bony fingers toward Miami’s criminal underbelly, Pablo is drawn into a mystery that tugs on every string in his life: the Necropolis beneath the city, the cutthroat magical academy, and the increasingly erratic Chancellor who raised a tower out of the ground—and out of the dead.

As his investigation unleashes eldritch monsters on the streets of Miami, Pablo must balance duty, danger, and the complicated business of being a good son. Because something dark is stirring in the Magic City, and this time, even a necromancer might be in over his head.

Featuring bilingual dialogue woven through its supernatural noir sensibilities, Magic City Mayhem speaks to readers of Jim Butcher, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and Junot Díaz — with enough humor, ghosts, and cafecito to wake the dead.
