The Case Book of Arne

Lynn Reinweiß is drawn toward the forbidden, the kind of fascination polite society tells her to bury. When she needs help badly enough, she ends up in Lugenberg, a city where non-humans live openly and the rules of ordinary life stop applying. There she meets Arne Neuntote, a vampire detective with a reputation that makes people flinch before they speak his name. They should never have crossed paths, but the moment a murder case surfaces, Lynn is pulled into his orbit and the work begins. Arne uses supernatural power and cold logic, Lynn brings stubborn courage and a strange empathy for monsters, and together they chase truths that humans do not want to hear. Each case forces them deeper into the borderland where the bizarre and the everyday overlap, where a crime scene can be both brutal and unreal. In that city under a crimson moon, solving mysteries is also learning what kind of person you become when fear stops being abstract.
