I've solved cases for the most powerful Vampire in the Undercity and for the Lycan Alpha, proving my worth as a PI. Despite being a half-breed and unclassed, work should be rolling in... Yet it isn't, and I don't know why. And as if that's not stressful enough, my mom starts acting so weird it makes me suspicious. Friends say she's just starting to live a little-maybe even, ugh, found a boyfriend-but I'm not sure. So what's a PI to do? Investigate, of course. I mean, come on, Momma's taken care of me my whole life. Now it's up to me to make sure she's okay. What I discover is so outrageous it leaves me reeling, but I don't care if once a thief, always a thief, there are some things too precious to allow to be stolen. I'll do whatever's necessary to make things right, even walk away from everything I've achieved-and the Undercity itself.
