I'm currently reading _Urban Shaman_ by CE Murtphy. A few chapters
in, and it seems like a fun read. Yet Another hardboiled female
protagonist, though this particular one is half Cherokee, half Irish,
and naturally (!) has Much Magic.
As an added bonus, she's a geek. I had to share this bit:
I have a little sign on my computer that says: On The Internet,
Nobody Knows You're A Dog. I dusted it off while the computer booted
up. Gary stood back about four feet, looking wary. "It isn't going
to bite you, Gary."
"That don't look like the ones on TV," Gary announced.
I shook my head. "I'm running Linux."
Gary squinted at me. I inhaled to explain, and gave it up as a bad
job before I even started. "It means I'm a computer geek."
