In the alleys of the decrepit Boston neighborhood known as the Weird, fairy prostitutes are turning up dead. The crime scenes show signs of residual magic, but the Guild, which polices the fey, has more "important" crimes to investigate and dumps the case on human law enforcement.Boston police call in Connor Grey, a druid and former hotshot Guild investigator-whose magical abilities were crippled after a run-in with a radical environmentalist elf. As Connor battles red tape and his own shortcomings, he realizes that the murders are not random, but part of an ancient magical ritual. And if Connor can't figure out the killer's M.O., the culmination of the spell might just bring about a worldwide cataclysm.

The story was all right, but just not my think. It's an interesting blend of crime fiction and fantasy, but I just don't like crime fiction very much. Del Franco creates a couple interesting characters, but also a number of very flat ones, and the character I found most interesting (Shay) didn't get enough on camera time for me. I also simply don't understand the difference between fairies and elves in his world beyond fairies have wingalings.
