In a city built on secrets and scarred by war, the dead don't rest - and neither does Detective Chase Cassidy. Five years after the arcane horrors of the Great War, the city of New York has been carved into zones, caged by paranoia and political power. The Madhatten Containment Zone - home of magic-born outcasts, lost spells, and buried truths - is where the government hides what it fears most. When a string of fey children are found brutally murdered in the shadows of the zone, Patrolman Chase Cassidy - decorated war hero, and one of the few spellbound survivors of the Red Morning - is promoted to detective and handed a case no one wants. The victims are magical. And in a city where magic is barely tolerated, justice isn't blind - It's just absent. Partnered with Skye Anderson, a sharp-tongued lawyer with her own reasons for defending the magical underclass, and backed by his streetwise best friend Diego Salazar, Chase descends into a world of corruption, buried sorcery, and forgotten enemies. But the deeper they dig, the more they uncover a truth far darker than murder - one that could reignite the war only a few survived the first time. In Madhatten, justice is served by a Wand and a Tommy Gun.
