If you liked trailing Fetch Phillips through Sunder City’s back alleys as he takes on strange clients in the aftermath of magic’s collapse, you’ll click with Harry Dresden’s first big case in Storm Front. Chicago’s only wizard PI wrestles with cops, mobsters, and lethal black magic while wisecracking his way through trouble—much like Fetch navigating ex-mages, trolls, and the wreckage of a world that no longer works the way it should.

You appreciated how Fetch keeps taking the kinds of cases that cut him open—helping the broken beings left behind after magic died. In The Devil You Know, exorcist Felix Castor operates in a grimy, haunted London where every favor has teeth. Like Fetch, Castor’s empathy and stubbornness drag him deeper into danger as he unravels a job that pits him against ruthless clients, hungry spirits, and his own sense of right and wrong.

If Fetch’s bruised conscience and bad bargains grabbed you, meet the Warden in Low Town. He’s an ex-intelligence agent turned drug dealer who gets pulled into a child-murder investigation and has to wade through corrupt officials, old enemies, and his own toxic coping mechanisms. Like Fetch in Sunder City, the Warden isn’t clean—but when the city preys on the vulnerable, he’s the one who’ll get his hands dirty to set things right.

If Fetch’s voice—weary, razor-edged, and intimate—was your way into The Last Smile in Sunder City, you’ll love the narration in Hammers on Bone. PI John Persons tells his case in an acid-tongued first person that blends hardboiled rhythm with viscous cosmic dread. Like following Fetch through bars and busted tenements, you’ll ride shotgun through seedy London flats and alleyways as the investigation turns stomach-twistingly otherworldly.

If you were drawn to Fetch’s messy, ongoing attempt to atone for his part in a broken world, try Sandman Slim. James Stark crawls out of Hell and storms through L.A.’s occult underbelly hunting the people who betrayed him, then slowly stumbles into protecting the very city he’d happily burn. It’s the same bruised heart you felt in Sunder City—anger, guilt, and a grudging drive to do better—delivered with savage momentum and dark, punchy humor.
