The Watchers
The Watchers | Jon Steele
7 posts | 11 read | 37 to read
Lausanne, Switzerland. In the cathedral tower lives a strange boy with a limp who talks to the bells. In a luxury penthouse lives a high-class prostitute who's in mortal danger. And in a low-rent hotel lives a private investigator who has no idea how he got there. Jay Harper finds himself in Switzerland on the trail of a missing Olympic athlete. A hard drinker, he can barely remember how he got home last night, let alone why he accepted this job. When he meets the stunning but aloof Katherine in a hotel bar, he quickly realises that he's not the only one in town who's for hire. She's a high-class hooker who can't believe her luck. Which is about to change. For the worse. In the meantime, Marc Rochat spends his time in the belfry talking to the statues, his cat and the occasional ghost. His job is to watch over Lausanne at night and to wait for the angel his mother told him he'd one day have to save. When he sees Katherine, he thinks his moment has come. Which indeed it has. But not in a good way...

Pickpick

I wish I could double-pick this. It started out a bit slow but once it got rolling...wow! The ending blew my mind then made me cry, which is no mean feat. Am now going to get every single book by this author.

#TBRtemptation post! Marc Rochat is a man-child who not wants to be the bell-ringer at the beautiful Lausanne Cathedral. Things are getting odd though: the crypt rumbles & murdered bodies are piling up. Katherine Taylor is an introspective American who works across the square as a high-paid call girl. Jay Harper can't remember who hired him or why, but he investigates the events. All 3 come to find fallen angels about. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

We're out of The Watchers again! I love these new covers and to date I've hand-sold almost 200 copies in its various formats. This is truly one of my favorite books in the whole store, and Marc Rochat is one of my favorite characters of all times. Damn. Now I want to reread the whole trilogy again. The PO for my reorder is "ROCHAT FOR EVERYONE!" #getindie
