Publisher's Synopsis
The Arcane Irregulars is a companion series to the Arcane Casebook series of novels. This book takes place after the events of Hidden Voices, Arcane Casebook #9.
It's been a year since the events of the Jade Phoenix, but its legacy is still being felt. When a magical assassin makes his presence felt in the city, Lieutenant Danny Pak has to bring in Dr. Ignatius Bell to help him track down a terrifying killer, preferably before the tabloids find out about him.
Meanwhile, FBI Agent Aissa Mendes gets her first solo case, the murder of a foreign national. At first the case seems fairly straightforward, but the deeper she digs, the more she uncovers, including a dark secret from the city's past. Eventually, her pursuit of truth brings international scrutiny on Aissa that could end her career before it gets started.
With her boss, Alex Lockerby, mysteriously out of commission, Sherry Knox finds herself trying to keep the detective agency afloat with only Alex's apprentice Mike Fitzgerald to help. She is keeping things together, at least until her cards show her a horrifying vision, predicting that one skeleton in her closet isn't willing to stay buried.
