We knew the job was impossible when we took it…In my time with PUPI, formally known as Private, Unaffiliated Paranormal Investigations, I’ve seen a lot. Learned a lot. And not all of it’s been good. But what we do – making people accountable for crimes committed with magic – is important work. Still. Even I need to take a break every now and again. Or so I’ve just been told (ordered).So hey, vacation. Maybe I’ll finally figure out what’s going on with the “special bond” between me and the bossman, Benjamin Venec. Venec seems to like that idea – he’s invited me down to join him on a jaunt to Philly. But no sooner do I arrive in the City of Brotherly Love than we’re called in to look at a dead body. And that’s when life gets really complicated…."Layers of mystery, science, politics, romance, and old-fashioned investigative work mixed with high-tech spellcraft." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Pack of Lies
