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. . .
