When Kit rescues a wealthy witch from the treacherous, monster-filled waters of the River Tweed, she reckons she's completed her fair share of good deeds for the day. But when a second anonymous body is pulled from the same river, Kit is dragged into a mystery as murky as the water itself. The corpse has no identification, no personal possessions and no one who cares. Kit is determined to change that.
At least Thane Barrow, the copper-haired werewolf who sees the world in a similar way to Kit, is happy to also get involved. Together, they navigate Coldstream’s magical streets and mysterious secrets, determined to uncover the truth about John Doe. Alas, it soon becomes clear that his death was no accident. Kit finds herself investigating a complex crime with more than one victim. She will have her claws full if she's going to get to the bottom of what's happened.
One thing is for certain - when death threatens, Kit McCafferty doesn’t back down. She pounces.
The Dark Hiss of Magic is the second book in the Cat Lady Chronicles.
Prepare for an enchanting blend of humour and fur-raising mystery, perfect for readers who love urban fantasy crime with a side of sharp claws and sharper wit.
