In a Cincinnati where vampires run pizza parlors and pixies provide aerial reconnaissance, Rachel Morgan navigates a precarious existence. Three months since quitting Inderland Security to start her own supernatural detective agency, she's barely making rent on the converted church she shares with a living vampire. When what should be a simple job-retrieving a stolen koi fish-ends with Rachel diving through a shattered window with bullets whizzing past her head, it's just another Tuesday. But her world truly unravels when the human police department asks for her help investigating a string of witch murders connected to Cincinnati's most powerful businessman, Trent Kalamack. Rachel's history with Trent is complicated-he tried to kill her once, and she's convinced he's dealing in illegal biodrugs. Yet as she digs deeper into the murders, she uncovers a conspiracy spanning decades, with connections to her own mysterious past and a power struggle that threatens everything she holds dear.
