Magic and the Shinigami Detective

About the book

When the Night Foxes make a bold break into the Fourth Precinct’s Evidence Building, it creates quite a commotion. Not only is the break-in daring, but their method also dismantles the magical wards and protections of the building like tearing up confetti paper. It’s safe to say that the police are more than just ‘alarmed’ by this incident.

As a Magical Examiner, Henri Davenforth is immediately called in to investigate the matter. To his surprise, Captain Gregson tasks him with handling the case like a detective. Even more surprising, he partners Henri up with the Shinigami Detective.

This woman is renowned for taking down the most dangerous rogue witch of the century, and her origins remain a mystery. The officers in the precinct either admire her or are a bit intimidated by her. Henri is simply puzzled. How is he supposed to work with a partner?

Hopefully, Jamie Edwards’ experience in killing a witch will prove useful in dealing with the thieves, who are not satisfied with just one break-in. It appears they have a specific agenda, as they target magical objects with each theft. Their actions are leading to the creation of a powerful magical construct capable of bypassing any building’s wards.

And the true target of the thieves remains unknown to everyone.
