Fablenoir (Fablenoir #1)

The series continues. FABLENOIR 2: Rose Red Undead out now.

Fifteen years after climbing the beanstalk, giants are the least of Jack's concerns.

Detective Jackson Slade of the NYPD is at his lowest; addicted to mysterious magick beans and spending each night drunk and alone in filthy bars.

But one night, Jack stumbles across the shattered corpse of media mogul and esteemed businessman Dick Dumpty outside a hotel, which sends him spiraling into the horrifying and magickal criminal underbelly of New York City. Along the way, Jack teams up with notorious outlaw Goldilocks after getting blacklisted by his chief of police, who proudly claims to be a descendant of the evil tyrant of centuries ago, Old King Cole.

As the reluctant duo of Jack and Goldilocks take on the criminal mastermind Papa Bear, as well as all those the huge grizzly has under his control, Jack sets in motion a chaotic chain of events that will change the world, for better or worse.
