Walk softly, and carry a very big stick ...
DI Adams fled London to escape bridge-dwelling monsters and magical toasties - a one-time experience she's in no hurry to repeat. She's police, not some cryptid hunter.
Leeds has other plans, though.
Tasked with the seemingly mundane case of a missing necklace, Adams soon realises she's stumbled into something inexplicable. The trinket is
dangerous
, and she's the only one who recognises it for what it is - a weapon that could tear the north apart.
Juggling unhelpful colleagues, amnesiac witnesses, and problematic women of a certain age, Adams plunges into the treacherous, magic-soaked streets of Leeds. She may not have backup, but at least she has the invisible, caffeine-addicted dog by her side.
Plus a duck. And a very big stick.
She's got this. She has to.
Because there's no one else who can ...

This is book one in the DI Adams Mysteries, but you may want to check out the prequel,
What Happened in London
, to discover the significance of that duck.
The DI Adams Mysteries contain no graphic violence, scenes of a sexual nature, or strong language, but they do contain some blasphemy, as well as a truly disturbing level of caffeine consumption.
