Publisher Description

"If nobody else is going to say it, I will. Our victim has no eyes." A corpse with no eyes bursts into flames before Toronto's Special Crimes Detective Fairuz Arshad can investigate. Her superiors are ordering her to close the case before it's even been opened, and it isn't the only one. She tracks down a siren and a faerie, both missing organs and brushed off by the police. Fairuz and her dryad partner, Rowan, suspect there's more to this mystery than it appears. The evidence points to a string of parahuman murders, with all the victims missing organs. The police are covering up the crimes, and Fairuz realizes the killer may be one of their own. As Rowan joins the ranks of those keeping secrets from her, the list of people Fairuz trusts grows smaller. More bodies are uncovered, and she fears something far more sinister is at work than a simple serial killer. With her own team turning against her, can Fairuz catch the killer before he strikes again?
