The mystical world has always existed at the fringe of human perception.
A string of recent abductions takes a turn for the worse when the investigating agent joins an ever-expanding list of casualties.
Fortunately, an unexpected informant knows who's responsible, but he'll only talk to one person.
Detective Ray Bradley, following a six-month suspension since his first big fail, the fail that started it all, is asked to look into the disappearance of his former partner. Much has changed since he last wore the badge.
The Veil, which separates the magical world from the mundane, is weakening. Crime is at an all-time high.
Confusion, anger, and fear are pushing both sides toward war. And everyone seems to know something Ray does not.
Things go from bad to worse when the only suspect in his case is tipped off and Ray is accused of conspiring with the enemy.
What was supposed to be a simple missing persons case rapidly escalates into a series of gunfights, car chases, explosions, and encounters with seductive women in this action-packed otherworldly detective novel.
Will Ray, the newest Marshal over the 95th District, be able to adapt to a world he does not understand in order to rescue his friend? Or will he become the latest casualty in a war of shadows?

Ray swerved, dodging the rapidly flipping and bouncing oxygen cylinder. There was no telling how many times it hit but he both heard and saw it shoot into the sky behind him. Glaring his irritation at the criminal, he clenched the steering wheel, feeling his knuckles pop. They were dead set on messing up his ride.
Arcing wide, Ray mashed the gas and pulled up beside the truck. Unfortunately there wasn't enough room to stay there long. The motorcycle could narrowly be seen in the distance, nearing the top of the I-95 ramp. There was no way they were going to catch it. Why they'd even bothered was a complete mystery.
The truck darted over, nearly on top of him. Ray slammed on the brakes, back into the danger zone. Another green cylinder hit the road right in front of him. Spinning the steering wheel, he slid sideways and shot into the far left lane. Another spin the other way sent him sliding around, the front of his car facing the left side of the truck. He corrected just as the second bottle went off. It shot like a torpedo, flying inches over his hood and passed the truck with ease. An explosion of concrete dust showered them and an overhead sign began to fall.
This story was written to be enjoyed as a standalone, but if you'd like to experience the tale of how Ray and Crum met, be sure to check out book 1 in the Miami Knights series, The Pandora Gambit!
