An ancient curse and a murdered man…
An unlikely pair of inspectors—one a young investigator with one big case under his belt, the other a brand new apprentice—investigate a mysterious phenomenon plaguing the city. As they search for clues, they come across the murder of someone who should probably already have been dead, and they find hints of treachery and intrigue from a far distant land. The city they love may be under a threat as dire as it has ever known, and they are thrust into the twisting machinations of an ancient, deadly mistake and a curse that afflicts an entire nation.
