The Dionysus Heist

In a city where magic is as common as streetlights, some crimes can't be solved with fingerprints alone. When the legendary Cup of Dionysus vanishes from the opulent Palace Hotel, the San Francisco Police Department calls in its most unconventional unit: Sergeant Victoria 'Rab' Rabinowski and her partner, forensic witch Harriet June. Trained to read magical residue the way others read blood splatter, they know that every spell leaves a trace - and every trace tells a story. What begins as a high-profile theft quickly turns lethal. Suspects fall under vicious hexes pulled from a secret grimoire thought to be lost, and witnesses start dying before they can talk. As magic meant to be forgotten resurfaces, Rab and Harriet uncover a conspiracy woken deep in the city's arcane underbelly - one that blurs the line between ritual and murder. With time running out, the investigators must decode forbidden spells, survive targeted attacks, and expose the hidden hand behind the killings - before the magic consumes them too. In this world, magic is everywhere. But truth is the hardest spell of all.
