There's a reason why the place was so cheap. A standalone prequel story for Keeley & Associates (taking place before Dragon & Detective). Freshly minted private detective James Keeley picks up a too-good-to-be-true deal on absurdly cheap office space. Maybe he should have asked a few more questions...

What does a ghost do when she wants to give presents to her friends? A Christmas story featuring Dolly, the office ghost from Keeley & Associates.

Hard boiled? More like hard luck. It's not easy being a human private detective in a city with dragons, shapeshifters, and fae. James Keeley has a magic gun (that never does what he wants) and a 1920s flapper's ghost haunting the basement of his office, and the first decent case he's had in a long time is a dragon hiring him to solve a locked-room mystery. James never could resist a puzzle, but this one has a good shot at getting him killed...

You can't die twice. But you can get your living friends killed. Dolly Mott, the flapper's ghost who haunts the old speakeasy under private detective James Keeley's office, died in a gangland shootout in the 1920s. Or so James always thought. Now it looks like there's a lot more to Dolly's death than James ever realized, and not all of Dolly's past is dead and buried. Someone's determined to shake James off the scent, or put him six feet under. If he's not careful, he just might end up a ghost himself...

Never make a deal with the Fae. But sometimes you don't have a choice, as private detective James Keeley finds out when a faerie noblewoman hires him to retrieve her stolen property. It's an offer he literally can't refuse, but he's already partnered with a dragon and has a 1920s flapper's ghost living in his basement office. This should be a piece of cake, right? There's just one tiny problem. The stolen property isn't a what. It's a who. And James has always been a sucker for a damsel in distress, even when it might get him killed...

Don't ask questions if you don't want the answers. All the answers. Private detective James Keeley never knew where his magic gun came from. His mentor gave it to him. Something unpredictable happens every time he pulls the trigger. But he's never seen anything similar, until someone attacks him with another weapon just like it. Now he's on a magic road trip to unravel the gun's origins, a journey into his own past and even stranger places, to solve a mystery that was supposed to be dead and buried a long time ago.

Forget knowing when to hold 'em. Knowing when to run is still pretty important, though. When you've got a deck of cards that tilts luck in your favor, you literally can't lose. But that doesn't mean you can win. James has been hired to find out who's killing players in the gambling event of the season, a poker tournament that will determine who controls the city's magical underworld for the next year, in a glamorous underground casino with a rising body count. Good thing he's got luck on his side. But it's going to take a lot more than that when the killer sets their sights on James and his friends .

James Keeley would like to have just one week with no one trying to kill him. With his shifter friend Aliette in trouble (or maybe she is the trouble), a shifter cult on the loose, and an old enemy coming back to hunt him, this is definitely not going to be that week. James and his friends are back in a new urban fantasy mystery featuring auklet shifter Aliette and her family, a remote lake with a dark secret, and more of the puzzle surrounding the mysterious artifact that James calls a spellgun.

The past rarely stays buried. No matter how deeply you bury it. For James' entire life, his mother—dangerous, unhinged, and powerfully psychic—has been the monster in the closet, the cruel abuser behind his urge to protect the innocent and helpless. Now she's back in his life, and James and his friends must help her with a magical heist to steal a powerful artifact. If he refuses, everything and everyone he cares about is in terrible danger. But if he goes through with it, he has a lot more than just his life to lose ... It's James Keeley's highest-stakes case yet, with his family history about to throw a magical grenade through the life James has built for himself in Grand Bluffs.
