Mick Andrews – Courts of Red Dust Series

About Mick Andrews

Mick Andrews doesn’t trust the Fey. He is a speciesist of the worst kind. He doesn’t believe in good fairies, white witches, or happy Scottish ogres. He knows they are all dark alien creatures who sometimes put on a pleasant guise—much like an anglerfish dangling its lure to attract unsuspecting prey.

Through the eyes of old-school Sydney police officer Mick McSweeney, Andrews explores the collision between ancient magic and modern Australia. His Courts of Red Dust series is urban fantasy set in the urban alleys and wide brown lands of the Lucky Country, examining how the Fey got here and how they operate in this harsh new environment.

The Trouble with Tricksies

Old-school Sydney police officer Mick McSweeney didn't believe in fairy tales. But when a botched collar exposes him to the Fey underworld, he discovers that the creatures hiding in Australia's shadows are far darker than any childhood story. And they have been hiding in plain sight since colonisation. As Mick's brush with the Fey uncovers ever darker secrets and deeper mysteries, he must navigate a world where nothing is as it seems, and trust is the deadliest mistake you can make. In a land where iron-rich earth burns like poison and ancient magic collides with urban crime, one cop's bull-headedness and cynicism might be the only things keeping him alive.
