Phantom’s Kiss

A secret world crime procedural

Magic is real, the cover-up is cracking, and Toronto’s most stubborn homicide detective doesn’t have a wand.

Detective Bridget Campbell doesn’t do magic. She does evidence, interviews and chain of custody. Then a poisoned executive turns up dead in his Lakeshore condo, and all evidence points to arsenic. When the tox screen is clear, Bridget realizes this isn’t an ordinary poisoning. Someone is using magic to kill, and the trail runs from Toronto’s financial district into the heart of Estrellien and the shadows of the Shaded Isle.

She has no magic, a cat who stares a little too knowingly, and a cold case from her own past that keeps pulling at her. What she does have is a detective’s instincts, a partner who can bend the rules of reality, and a killer who doesn’t leave a trace.

When magic gets away with murder, someone has to bring it to justice.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Hidden magical realm
• Magical law enforcment
• Magic as addictive contraband
