It bummed me out to learn that Harry Connolly's Twenty Palaces series will not be continuing. Sales have been decreasing and Connolly has decided to move on. It's such a shame. Child of Fire was one of my favorite reads of 2011. It had a gritty, hardboiled feel to it that is unusual in urban fantasy. Ray Lilly is a character out of the same mold as Sam Spade and Phillip Marlowe. His boss, Annalise - well, I don't know who I'd compare her to but she is brutal, scary, totally badass, and cool as shit.
I'm truly surprised that this series wasn't more popular. I highly recommend it.
Connolly also wrote a prequel to the series that tells how Ray and Annalise first met. It's self-published and only in ebook form but you can buy it from Connolly direct.
