The Mage's Code, 1: Book 1 Search (PB) (2021)

Magic is a dying art, and most of the world has no idea it exists. A young detective named John begins investigating an elusive criminal with a talent for disappearing. A college student named Vivian makes an incredible discovery hiding in plain sight. Both find themselves clashing with the same mysterious man, a sarcastic stranger in a black bowler hat, and he's not the only danger they face.

The Mage's Code (book 01: search) is a fantasy adventure novel full of suspense and mystery. The story is intended for a young-adult to adult audience, and contains some profanity and suggestive themes. This is the first in the book series The Mage's Code by Daniel P Mayer. The second book in the series will be published at a later date, unless this one just doesn't sell at all, in which case I'll devote my time to better things. There are a lot of good books out there to read these days.
