Unfortunately this cozy lifestyle shatters after the beautiful and possibly unstable Fiona Ambrose shows up on his doorstep. In her quest to find her sister and prove her sanity, Fiona accidentally throws Broker headfirst into a conspiracy orchestrated by the Daughters of All, a mysterious cult with a knack for drug peddling, kidnapping and murder.

Would it be tacky and tasteless to add a review of my own book? Let's find out. Ahem...This is undoubtedly B. Branin's magnum opus and the fact it is his first novel may or may not have everything to do with that. If you've got a taste for hilarity, misfits, the paranormal/supernatural and zany antics of mind-boggling weirdness, this is definitely the book for you.

The classic gumshoe genre hits a new high. This exciting mystery is full of eccentric colorful characters, well developed dialog and a plot that keeps the reader guessing. I loved the well turned phases and contemporary description that truly paints the picture of bad side of a "somewhere" town.
Arthur Broker, if that really is his name, is a Gen Y conman that knows how to keep ahead of the law and the lawless alike. Mere mortals pose little threat to his comfortable life style but when he meets a foe from another dimension the battle is on.

It looks like B. Branin has a hit. I hope the ending teaser in Demonic Double Cross develops into Broker part 2. Paranormal Investigator/s- I want to see you build your chops.

This author has potential. I do get little weary of the constant back-patting by the protagonist and never ending explanations he gives to prove how very clever he finds himself to be. I could also use significantly less of the longwinded excerpts at the beginning of almost every single chapter. I barely look at them anymore. Even so, pretty impressive for a first novel. Would have been better with a brutal editing.

An absolutely brilliant story. Dean Koontz with a sense of humor... Loved it...
