The Mystery Writers of America Cookbook Wickedly Good Meals and Desserts to Die For

The Devil’s Water DictionaryA Novel

“Booze is universal. It brings people

together, and a lot of times it results in

the creation of more people. What

could be more magical?”

by Paul Krueger

College grad Bailey Chen has a few demons: no job, no parental support, and a rocky relationship with Zane, the only friend who’s around when she moves back home. But when Zane introduces Bailey to his cadre of monster-fighting bartenders, her demons get a lot more literal. Like chupacabra literal. Soon, it’s up to Bailey and the ragtag band of magical mixologists to take on whatever—or whoever—is behind the mysterious rash of gruesome deaths in Chicago and locate the missing knowledge of an ancient tome of cocktail lore. Featuring twelve cocktail recipes to mix up at home—magic powers not included—this sharp and funny urban fantasy for “new adults” mixes high-adrenaline action with a twist of boozy wit, straining it all through the terrifying experience that is postcollege life.

PAUL KRUEGER is a writer of fantasy and steampunk whose most recent work has been featured in the 2014 Sword & Laser anthology. This is his first novel.
