Quite a large number of fantasy books draw a connection between magic and music ((And quite a number of science fiction books, when they do cover “magic” of one sort or another, connect it with math. And in the real world, music and math are related. I mention all this by the wayside as one of those interesting coincidences.)); here, we have a magician-musician in San Francisco who’s quit the magic rap. He still has his magical dog, Louie (who’s actually an Ifrit, but just dog-shaped). And he still gets into trouble with magic, especially when his former colleagues in former circles start turning up dead.
