- In the tradition of his renowned father, James J. Butcher’s debut novel, Dead Man’s Hands (Ace Books) is a brilliant urban fantasy about a young man who must throw out the magical rule book to solve the murder of his former mentor. On the streets of Boston, the world is divided into the ordinary Usuals, and the paranormal Unorthodox. And in the Department of Unorthodox Affairs, the Auditors are the magical elite, government-sanctioned witches with spells at their command and all the power and prestige that comes with it. Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby is… not one of those witches. After flunking out of the Auditor training program and being dismissed as “not Department material,” Grimsby tried to resign himself to life as a mediocre witch. But he can’t help hoping he’ll somehow, someway, get another chance to prove his skill. That opportunity comes with a price when his former mentor, aka the most dangerous witch alive, is murdered down the street from where he works, and Grimsby is the Auditors’ number one suspect. Proving his innocence will require more than a little legwork, and after forming a strange alliance with the retired legend known as the Huntsman and a mysterious being from Elsewhere, Grimsby is abruptly thrown into a life of adventure, whether he wants it or not. Now all he has to do is find the real killer, avoid the Auditors on his trail, and most importantly, stay alive. Butcher was joined in conversation by Jim Butcher, author of The Dresden Files series.

Can we all agree on how fricking proud Jim looks? The man is about to burst in pride, so happy for them! Will definetly read asap.
I love the way they are wearing different colours of the same shirt. Similar to his father, but the difference makes the difference.
I couldn't find the brand. they are nice shirts!
Listen, not to take away from the conversation, but Jim is aging like fine wine! Look at those luxurious locks!
Dead mans hand was good. Give it a read.
Wow Jim looks exactly like how I imagine Harry Dresden looks!
Awesome pairing of a YA protagonist with an established hero!!! This added a ton of possibilities that are not available to lone YA heroes or groups, and I am eager to follow how the expectations and training of the mentor will help Grimsby! And I love it that we can already see a bit of the mature person that he will become!!!
Grimsby is too old to be a YA protagonist. By a year. YA protagonists are aged 14-18 as a general rule.
Nice pendent James.
Loved this book.
Finished this book this afternoon. Excellent book.
MAGIC!
Holy crap. Fnaf being the inspiration for the chuckee cheese style themes of Grimsby is hilarious
Looks like I'm gonna have to save up and get a copy.
Jim, you look like the character Josephus Miller from the "Expanse". Make me laugh!
Awesome talk, really looking forward to pick up the book!
What in the WORLD, getting two authors with the same name on the same interview 🤣
Was a lot better than the ARCs made it appear.
Oh, dear. Under-read & dad-propelled.
Jealousy. Have you written seven novels?

From the transcript:
3:49 "uh well you know I had a I had somebody in the household who wrote books and he seemed to be doing pretty well for himself";
20:10 "a lot of the storytelling elements that are like broader stroke things are the things that I've picked up you know learning from my father".
19:37 "I consider myself woefully ill-read".
@@collegesandcannibals241 I'll take that as a "no." If you want a publishing deal go write seven novels before complaining about someone elses success.
@@Sin_Brings_Death Why on Earth would I want a publishing deal? Please, go project over someone else, but by all mean continue white-knighting for the best-selling urban fantasy author's urban fantasy author son.
@@collegesandcannibals241 "Why pn earth would I want a publishing deal." Because you came to this video to insult someone who's too new to have enemies. That means you're either jealous of his success, which you aren't, or you're just a hater in general. Which begs the question, who hurt you?
