The Wizards of Central Park West

Winner of 6 Awards!

He went from detective to wizard in a flash. Can he master his magic in time to thwart Armageddon?

Eddie Berman wants his old job back. Ever since the detective rushed into a bust without backup, he's been wasting his talents in Central Park. But after investigating a bloody murder causes him to accidentally touch a powerful stick, he's summoned to a new calling by a magical, disembodied head...

Entrusted with a staff from the Garden of Eden itself, Eddie learns that wizards are real and the apocalypse is coming. With his old job and a trip to Aruba looking farther and farther away, the detective must learn magic, uncover a rogue sorcerer, and confront something called "the great evil" before New York becomes a literal nightmare.

Can Eddie protect and serve an impossible world, or will his first day on a new beat be his last?
