Description
Mick Kelly can steal power from the dying, and in 1881 San Francisco, that makes her useful to all the wrong kinds of people.
When her partner is murdered and dumped in the bay, Mick’s hunt for answers leads her into a city steeped in corruption, criminal vice, and bad magic. A missing colleague and a mystical artifact everyone is willing to kill for soon force her into uneasy bargains with crime bosses, water spirits, and monsters who look almost human.
As betrayals stack like bodies on the docks, Mick is pulled into a conspiracy that reaches from the Barbary Coast to the halls of power.
The second book in the Mick Kelly series delivers supernatural noir, gaslit intrigue, and a cast of dangerous women who refuse to play by anyone's rules.

Stephen G, Reviewer
The “Bad Magic” series continues to excel. I loved book one of the series: “Bad Magic and Whiskey” and the related (but not technically part of the series) “The Phantasm Prism”, a prequel and stand-alone. Book 2 of the series, “Necromancers and Navy Grog”, like the previous Jacobson books, has a great, well-paced story, excellent settings and amazing characters; protagonists and antagonists alike. The book kept me enthralled from start to finish. I'm hoping that Jacobson will write many more books in the series. Thank you to Netgalley and Blackridge Publishing, LLC for the advance reader copy.
