About the book
A deceased creator of magical charms is just the beginning of a series of mysterious events.
It appears that humans are constantly finding new and more innovative ways to harm each other. Their utilization of advanced technology is concerning as their creativity in the art of violence knows no bounds.
When a charm maker is killed in an explosion inside his own vehicle, it is not Henri Davenforth's skills that are required but those of Jamie Edwards, the Shinigami Detective. Car bombings are unfamiliar territory in Kingston, and Jamie is the only one with prior experience in such cases. However, the situation takes a dark turn when it is revealed that the deceased charm maker was involved in dangerous practices.
The threats he has unleashed upon Kingston put numerous lives at risk and prompt a frantic race against time, requiring the expertise of Jamie, Henri, and the Kingsmen to combat the danger spreading through the city.
As the perpetrator remains at large, Henri and Jamie are left to ponder: what will be the next catastrophic event?
