An intriguing murder mystery set in an imaginary world, peopled by vampires, dimorphs, luchrupáns, and the odd—very odd—Salmon Farsade, an orphan with the ability to read auras. Salmon becomes apprenticed to Muinbeo’s most famous nocturnal detective, the long-lived and sharp-toothed Inspector McCabe, and together they try to sniff out who killed Fen Maguire—and why.
