Detective Thaddeus Ezax is in over his head. He’s the only wizard in Rockshade’s Paranormal Investigations Department, and it was his name that got him the job. The Ezaxs are known as some of the most powerful wizards in the world, but Thaddeus isn’t your average Ezaxs. Is it any wonder his family shuns him? When a kidnapping case is dropped into his lap, Thaddeus must act fast. While most five-year-olds can cast a location spell, Thaddeus can't and is forced to get creative. When he finds himself in possession of a black market werewolf skull with a ghost trapped inside, accidentally releases the spirit, and somehow forms a connection with it, things get even crazier. Sandulf Hunter doesn’t remember dying, but he remembers the last thing he saw before everything went black -- a wizard. All wizards must die! The only problem is, the wizard standing next to him smells too damned good, so good Sandy thinks he might have to keep him. And since wherever Thaddeus goes, Sandulf finds himself yanked along, he might not have a choice in the matter anyway.

“I didn’t know there were cuts, but I tried talking to Ric several times.”


Jaecar pursed his lips. “Ric, I want a word after this.” He put his hands on the table and stood. “Thaddeus, I want you to go through all the folders, see if any of the victims are wizards. Talk to their families if they aren’t listed and try to get some intel. Can you tell if someone has powers?”


Jaecar nodded. “Ric, I want you to go through all the former suspects we had, see if anyone is a warlock.” He turned to Thad again. “It’s not a sorcerer, right?”


“I don’t think so, no. The bodies were all intact, right? No missing skulls. My guess is the Angel Maker is a warlock and I would be very surprised if it was Ms. Davis. I’m not saying what Elora…saw was wrong, but all we know is that what she saw was linked to the earring. Ms. Davis might not be wearing it anymore. I think she’s a victim like the rest of them.”
