Forensic investigation takes on a whole new connotation in Battis' absorbing paranormal detective tale -- an OSI novel. The combo of cutting-edge technology and magic highlights a procedural thriller filled with ominous twists. Telling the tale from the point of view of a stubborn, rule-breaking heroine keeps the tension high and the risk palpable. Here's to more adventures with this cast of characters!

With her career hanging in
the balance, Vancouver Occult Special Investigator Tess Corday has been given an ultimatum: Don't screw up this dead vampire case, or else. Unhappily for Tess, all hell breaks loose after she tracks down 13-year-old Mia Polanski, who might be connected to the dead vampire. Seeking answers, Tess is forced to approach powerful necromancer Lucian Agrado, the liaison to the vampire community. Despite being sidelined by her boss, Tess refuses to let the case go. With the fate of a teenager hanging in the balance, Tess will follow clues even if they drag her into the middle of a paranormal conspiracy.
