A captivating contemporary fantasy set in New Orleans following Jude - a man with a talent. Jude can locate anything that has been lost. But after Katrina hits, his talent becomes a curse and he finds himself at the edge of madness... Post–Katrina New Orleans is a place haunted by its history and by the hurricane’s destruction. Street magician Jude Dubuisson is likewise burdened by his past and by the storm, because he has a secret: the magical ability to find lost things, a gift passed down to him by the father he has never known. Jude has been lying low since the storm, which caused so many things to be lost that it played havoc with his magic. But his retirement ends abruptly when the Fortune god of New Orleans is murdered and Jude is drawn back into the world he tried so desperately to leave. A world full of magic, monsters, and miracles. A world where he must find out who is responsible for the Fortune god’s death, uncover the plot that threatens the city’s soul, and discover what his talent has always been trying to show him: what it means to be his father’s son.

The City of Lost Fortunes

"Camp returns to his otherworldly New Orleans of The City of Lost Fortunes for a sequel that evokes the magic, mystery, and mythology of Neil Gaiman's American Gods with a female protagonist that calls to mind the power and personality of Chuck Wendig's Miriam Black (Blackbirds)"--

Gather the Fortunes

Tote Götter, verlorene Seelen, grausame Morde und dunkle Magie – willkommen im wahren New Orleans! Jude findet Dinge. Nicht wie ein Detektiv, auch wenn manche das glauben, sondern mit seiner einzigartigen magischen Gabe. Zumindest war es früher so, bevor der Hurrikan Katrina nicht nur in der Welt der Sterblichen entsetzliches Leid verursacht hat, sondern auch das magische Gefüge von New Orleans zerstörte. Seitdem blufft sich Jude durchs Leben und schlägt sich mehr schlecht als recht durch. Da wird der Schutzgott der Stadt ermordet, und Jude ist der Hauptverdächtige. Ob mit oder ohne seine Gabe: Er muss den wahren Mörder finden, um seine Weste wieder reinzuwaschen. Dabei tritt Jude Engeln, Vampiren, Göttern und Magiern auf die Füße – und entdeckt eine monströse Verschwörung, die New Orleans für immer verändern wird ...
