The past rarely stays buried.No matter how deeply you bury it.For James's entire life, his mother-dangerous, unhinged, and powerfully psychic-has been the monster in the closet, the cruel abuser behind his urge to protect the innocent and helpless. Now she's back in his life, and James and his friends must help her with a magical heist to steal a powerful artifact.If he refuses, everything and everyone he cares about is in terrible danger.But if he goes through with it, he has a lot more than just his life to lose ...It's James Keeley's highest-stakes case yet, with his family history about to throw a magical grenade through the life James has built for himself in Grand Bluffs.

From enemies to ... something else.A few months ago, Aliette and her flock of bird shifters forged a truce with James Keeley and his magical detective agency. Now the shifters of Grand Bluffs need his help.There's a new alpha in town, using a previously unknown form of alpha power so strong it's taking down the local shifters like dominos. But what does he really want? James, as a human, is immune to this alpha cult leader's shifter wiles, and James's magical spellgun can thwart the shifters' ability to sniff him out as a human.Going undercover in a shifter cult, James can't take along his usual dragon backup. (And the dragon in question is deeply unhappy about it.) He's going to have to rely on Aliette-who not so long ago wanted to kill him-in a beautiful lakeside resort full of old enemies and new ones, where his survival relies on managing to convince a lot of shifter cultists that he's one of them.Because failure means getting to star in his own personal production of The Most Dangerous Game.And the only ally he has in the cult, Aliette, is one alpha-power brainwashing away from trying to kill him herself.Not to mention that the spellgun, the one thing keeping every shifter in the cult from turning on him, seems to have developed an agenda of its own ...James, dragon Oz, friendly ghost Dolly, and the rest are back in a brand new thrilling urban fantasy detective adventure! James and his friends must hold their own against a powerful foe whose mind-warping powers can turn friends into enemies. If you like Felix Castor, Harry Dresden, and Blue Moon Investigations, give Keeley a try!
