After tracking down a series of murders involving a sorcerous homunculi, Hawk and Fisher are assigned to "The God Squad", a team that polices the strangeness that exists on the Street of the Gods. Someone or something has killed three of the gods, or Beings, as they are often called. The squad is not used to murder investigations but they are also not used to working with the Guard. While the rest of the squad work to keep hell from breaking loose (literally), Hawk and Fisher follow the meager clues to its startling, but inevitable, conclusion. Another good tale with plenty of action as well much to make one think. The mystery is well done as is the additions to Haven's history and make-up. Not just simply Swords & Sorcery (although there is plenty of that). Views: 36

In the early part of the twentieth century, migrants made their way from rural homes to cities in record numbers and many traveled west. Los Angeles became a destination. Women flocked to the growing town to join the film industry as workers and spectators, creating a "New Woman." Their efforts transformed filmmaking from a marginal business to a cosmopolitan, glamorous, and bohemian one. By 1920, Los Angeles had become the only western city where women outnumbered men. In Go West, Young Women! Hilary A. Hallett explores these relatively unknown new western women and their role in the development of Los Angeles and the nascent film industry. From Mary Pickford's rise to become perhaps the most powerful woman of her age, to the racist moral panics of the post–World War I years that culminated in Hollywood's first sex scandal, Hallett describes how the path through early Hollywood presaged the struggles over modern gender roles that animated the century to come.
