Fairly stock urban fantasy about a small-time crook type with thoughts of honour and who's also a wizard. Leather jackets and pentagrams. The seamy magic underworld and the seamy criminal underworld. As usual with these things, Faust seems like he might be an OK bloke to have a beer with. Easy to read; not particularly deep; that's not really a problem. Like, say, the Nightside books. It turns out that there are a bunch more Faust books and a couple of other series as well, so I think I'll pick them up.
