“Korey Jackson masterfully narrates an urban fantasy debut…While Jackson portrays Jude as charming but world-weary, it is clear that he knows how to hustle and would make a passable con man. This complexity of his character reflects the complexity of the story, and Jackson adroitly keeps the two balanced so that listener interest and anticipation are always maintained. Just as important a character as Jude is the city of New Orleans itself, and Jackson paints such a vivid portrait that one can almost see the French Quarter, smell chicory coffee brewing, and hear cicadas drone. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

The fate of New Orleans rests in the hands of a wayward grifter in this novel of gods, games, and monsters

The post–Katrina New Orleans of The City of Lost Fortunes is a place haunted by its history and by the hurricane’s destruction, a place that is hoping to survive the rebuilding of its present long enough to ensure that it has a future. Street magician Jude Dubuisson is likewise burdened by his past and by the consequences of the storm, because he has a secret: the magical ability to find lost things, a gift passed down to him by the father he has never known—a father who just happens to be more than human.

Jude has been lying low since the storm, which caused so many things to be lost that it played havoc with his magic, and he is hiding from his own power, his divine former employer, and a debt owed to the Fortune god of New Orleans. But his six-year retirement ends abruptly when the Fortune god is murdered and Jude is drawn back into the world he tried so desperately to leave behind. A world full of magic, monsters, and miracles. A world where he must find out who is responsible for the Fortune god’s death, uncover the plot that threatens the city’s soul, and discover what his talent for lost things has always been trying to show him: what it means to be his father’s son.
