Ich dachte, dies wäre ein einfacher Profiling-Auftrag. Nur ein weiterer Nachahmer von Jack the Ripper, der durch Londons Straßen streift und nach leichter Beute sucht. Ich lag falsch. Dieser Mörder ist ein Fae, so schwer zu fassen wie ein Schatten. Aber ich bin FBI-Profilerin und es ist meine Aufgabe, ihn zu finden. Es spielt keine Rolle, dass einer der Hauptverdächtigen–ein charmanter, aber todgefährlicher Fae–versucht, mich zu verführen … oder zu töten, ich bin mir nicht sicher, welches von beidem.

Казя в шоке: оказывается, на Той стороне немало любопытного. Интересные собеседники, необычная топография и даже архитектура, множество довольно занятных и непривычных законов физики (и метафизики). То есть там вполне себе даже можно… э-э, не-жить. А еще оказывается, что на Той стороне происходят свои загадочные преступления, и есть свои темные личности, которые творят некие темные делишки.

Sometimes, the greater good is best served by being a little… bad. After spending some not-so-quality time in a white-collar prison, all Declan Storm wants is to have a few days of peace and solitude. Ideally, magic-free.

I was determined to fulfill my best friend's dying wish: see the lost Moriarty paintings in person. With two Moriartys in hand, I tracked down the final painting—and walked straight into a trap.

Then the whistleblower wound up dead, and my easy work week was shattered. Despite official reports, I knew he didn’t die in a workplace safety accident.
