Welcome to Dalton Home to Humans, Dwarves, Elves and the shadowy Umbral Populace. Detective Vanic Bradley works hard to keep the peace, coming down hard on the criminal underbelly of the city. After putting his life on the line multiple times in recent weeks, all he wanted was a day off work to spend time with his son, and re-evaluate his place in the world - but forces beyond his control have other ideas. For reasons unknown, he will find himself in a race against time as two hundred innocent citizens become collateral damage in a murderous plot centred around him. Umbrate is the debut Urban Fantasy crime thriller by A.D Jones, that will offer up his take on a fantasy setting that should be welcomed by many readers, regardless of their genre tastes.
