    Wizards work for large corporations. Now a murdered corporate wizard begins an investigation by Detective Owlen Vay of the Ye Olde Vancouver PD.

      Ihad just parked my rusting Lotus in front of the Ye Olde Dragon’s Guild Building—my PI office is on the sixth floor of a four-story walk-up (don’t ask, you don’t wanta know)—when my cell phone erupted with the deep south standard, Dixie .

      I immediately recognized the number on the glowing call display. Why was Owlen calling me from his cell already?

      I flipped my phone open. Where are you?

      At the corporate headquarters of Y. O. Fortunate Message…

      I knew them. They made the little messages that went into the fortune cookies.

      We found their Vice-President of Sorcery face down in his Won-ton soup… As usual Owlen used his best dull-investigator voice.

      Accidental drowning?

      I dun’ wanta say any more over an open phone line. The line went dead.

      Owlen doesn’t share my bent sense of humor. Yeah. I’ll be there in twenty, I said to myself.

      I was ten minutes from resting my weary head on the pillow at the end of my ancient overstuffed couch, but now Owlen Vay had sabotaged my perfect plan. There’d be no rest for the wicked this night.
