The expanded third edition of Kasper Mützenmacher's Cursed Hat, a 2017 Foreword INDIES Finalist (Fantasy)

Kasper Mützenmacher spends his days making custom hats and his nights basking in Berlin's sparkling cabaret scene. But his world shatters in a cymbal crash when his flapper girlfriend Isana is kidnapped by the notorious Klaus, a shadowy proto-Nazi who renders his victims blind to their own faces.

With no other way to save Isana, Kasper turns to his family's most precious secret: a teleportation hat stolen from Hermes long ago. Although the brazen rescue succeeds, Kasper now has a target on his back.

Klaus will use his dark and twisted methods to infiltrate Kasper's life and uncover the miracle behind the escape. And should the Stealer of Faces get his hands on Kasper's hat, the world will be at his disposal.

Life Indigo: Book 2 of The Water Nymph Gospels is a funny, noirish, mythic whirlwind through Berlin's Jazz Age, the rise of fascism, and a cursed family's harrowing quest for freedom.

"This standout novel pulls no punches and paints an unforgettable Technicolor picture of a time we usually see in black and white." —Foreword Reviews

"Blending Berlin's cabaret, Nazi menace, and mythic magic, Life Indigo is a dazzling fantasy where one magical hat could tip the fate of the world."—NewInBooks.com
