Stiletto: A Novel: The Rook Files, cartea 2
Autor Daniel O'Malleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 apr 2017
The Checquy--the centuries-old covert organization that protects society from supernatural threats, and...
The Grafters--a supernatural threat.
But as bizarre attacks sweep London and threaten negotiations, old hatreds flare. Surrounded by spies, only the Rook and two women who absolutely loathe each other can find the culprits before they trigger all-out war.
STILETTO is a novel of preternatural diplomacy, paranoia, and snide remarks from an author who "adroitly straddles the thin line between fantasy, thriller, and spoof." (Booklist)

"I just loved this book. If you think Daniel O'Malley couldn't topThe Rook, you were wrong. STILETTO is as satisfying and spellbinding as his first book, with a new cast of magic-wielding humans called the Grafters. Myfanwy Thomas, the Rook, is trying to broker a truce between the Grafters and her own Checquy, but a third party is trying to prevent this truce by any means possible...including Myfanwy's assassination."
—Charlaine Harris
"Daniel O'Malley raises the action, monsters and witticisms to new levels in this sequel toThe Rook....a devilishly funny follow-up....This ambitious romp reads like X-Men meets Supernatural as narrated by Jasper Fforde, only funnier....O'Malley reaches new heights of grotesquery in the best possible way."—Jaclyn Fulwood, Shelf Awareness
"O'Malley strikes a skillful balance between irreverent humor and adventure. His narratives move back and forth, providing detail but without becoming cumbersome. This X-Men meets X-Files-style adventure will appeal to fans of superhero comics and adventure novels."
—Vicki Briner, Library Journal
"There are writers who craft intricate plots, writers who breathe life into incredible characters, and writers who pen lines you want to quote all day long. O'Malley is one of the rare finds who regularly manages all three....It took Daniel O'Malley four long years to write this sequel. That time paid off."
—Jeff Somers, B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
"Much-anticipated....Stilettois less office politics and Cthulhu and more X-Men and Dungeons & Dragons."—Andrew Liptak, i09, "All The Books You Desperately Need to Add to Your 'To Read' Pile This Summer"
"An excellent sequel.... O'Malley works his magic in adroit new ways, recalling all the legerdemain that delighted us the first time around [inThe Rook]. STILETTO is laugh-out-loud funny, occasionally bawdy and paced like a spy thriller replete with chases, betrayals and tragedies...Fear not, dear reader: Daniel O'Malley is in charge."—Joyce Saenz Harris, Dallas Morning News
"My favorite book of 2016....STILETTO is a light-hearted romp through a world that's both familiar and strange."
—Ellen Zielinski, Louisiana Advocate
"Thank goodness I didn't find out about O'Malley's first book, 2012'sThe Rook, until this year; there's no way I could have waited four years for the sequel."
