Praise for the Black Lands series

With Sycamore, Ian Rogers delivers a serpentine narrative involving missing people, mobsters, rogue intelligence agents, and monsters that refuse to stay dead. Private investigator Felix Renn is a masterful creation—arch, world-weary, clever and tenacious. Fans of Jim Butcher and Richard Kadrey will be enthralled with the world of the Black Lands.

Indomitable PI Felix Renn is back for another case and I’m delighted to follow him once again into the fray. Rogers’ writing is pure gold. Laird Barron, author of Not a Speck of Light (Stories)
