Politicians, can't trust a single one of them. How are you supposed to know if that amiable old gent is who he claims to be? The people of Durham, for example, might have put a little more thought into things if they knew a candidate happened to be a dragon.
Britain is imploding nice and slowly as the secret civil war between Whitehall and wizards rages on. Whitehall has the numbers, the money, and the cohesion to start turning things around, while the mages of the UK are more concerned with surviving than actually winning. They need allies, powerful ones, and unfortunately for everyone involved the only man able to negotiate with them is Jameson Parker.
Luckily for him, someone is trying to kill the mayor of Durham. It wouldn't be a big deal if that mayor wasn't also a powerful dragon. So, quid pro quo then: save a dragon's life, get an ally that might help turn the tide against Whitehall. How hard can it be?
Ancient cults and gribbly ghosts won't be enough to deter Parker, but he's about to learn that old grudges aren't just skin deep. They're in the blood.
BURNING BRIDGES is the fifth entry in the exciting, enthralling, and entertaining WARLOCKS OF WHITEHALL series, a world of magic and politics perfect for fans of Hellblazer, The Dresden Files, The Laundry, and other urban fantasy mainstays.
