Shadowrun: Imre Grey
By Jennifer Brozek
One Foot in Each World…
Imre Dahl, the manager of Shades, Snohomish’s most elite members-only club, has a problem. Actually, he has many problems, the biggest one that he’s been strongarmed into hosting a political dinner for Mayor Feddersen. Nothing good ever comes from something like this.
Complicating things further, Imre’s long exile from Rabat is almost at an end. All he needs to do is endure one last meeting with the powerful and mercurial Mademoiselle Beaumont. At the same time, his personal bodyguards have been called away to pay a debt, and the timing couldn’t be worse.
If he worked only in the shadows, many of Imre’s problems could be solved by a bullet, but now that he works in the light, he’s forced to play nice with big fishes in small ponds. Of course, even in the light, nothing is as it seems, and forces are conspiring against Imre to make his life hell, and possibly destroy Shades in the bargain.
The biggest question of all is can he stop the plots he can’t see, but knows are coming, while pulling off the political event of the year?
This is the third book in my unofficial Shadowrun “colors quartet” series. (As in, it didn’t start as a series but became one.) While each book is a “one-off” and can be read in order, they share characters. An enemy of one book could be the protagonist in another or a side character. However, I do recommend you read in order of publication: Makeda Red then Elfin Black then Imre Grey (UBL link). The final novel in the series, Elf in White, is scheduled to be released in June 2027.
