About the book
Henri is no stranger to dealing with dangerous and unusual cases that come his way. His partnership with the Shinigami Detective surely plays a role in that. But what catches him off guard is when the queen herself walks into his lab and presents him with such a case.
The late Royal Mage Joseph Burtchell was discovered dead in his home, with all signs indicating foul play. However, the mystery lies in how the murderer managed to commit the crime—the house was locked, wards were in place, and the body showed a strange wound.
It's a classic locked room mystery, with no murder weapon in sight and no suspects to speak of. Henri is perplexed while Jamie is excited, embracing the challenge that this case brings.
Who possesses the power to bypass a royal mage's defenses and carry out a murder without being noticed?
