Undertow: Ethan Banning

Private Investigator Ethan Banning is a desperate man. He's desperate to rid himself of the demon possessing him. He's desperate to stop the nightmares and the evil urges that fill him. He's so desperate, he's agreed to quit smoking and drinking in exchange for help.
Professor Benedict Walters thinks he can exorcise Ethan with clean living and ancient history, but he won't do it for free. Ethan's got to track down Heather, a missing colleague of Walters in the quaint and creepy seaside town of Beacon's Point. It should be simple...but Heather may not want to be found.
Even if P.I. Ethan Banning can crack the case, he's still got to deal with a trainee necromancer, his own fading self-control, and an ancient entity that terrifies Ethan's own demonic denizen. So... yeah. Crack the case? Hells, Ethan Banning may not even survive it.
""Proudly stands head and shoulders above what has become the norm for modern urban fantasy novels. There's enough style, brutality, surprises and dark humour in Undertow] to please even a jaded and skeptical urban fantasy reader like me."" -Seregil of Rhiminee, RisingShadow.net
9.0/10""Ethan isn't the most likable protagonist at times but he's a great antihero, thrown from one crazy circumstance to the next. If you have a love for quirky fantasy stories set in the modern world or funny detective fiction, this is your kind of novel."" -C.T. Phipps, The Bookie Monster
