A children's book for grown-ups by Jon Evans

Welcome! Beasts of New York is a novel by award-winning author Jon Evans: a violent, epic, action-packed urban quest full of very eccentric, often hilarious, extremely dangerous characters who also happen to be animals — the wildlife of New York City, to be exact.
