Dead men have nothing but secrets... Lachlan Graham is ready for his life to settle down now that he and his ex-partner, FBI Agent Vector Clanahan, have caught the serial killer responsible for murdering his neighbor. But no sooner have the two returned to Seattle than more bad news arrives to upturn Lachlan's quiet existence: someone else close to him has just been found dead in the streets. While Lachlan struggles to make sense of this random act of violence, he embarks yet again on an investigative mission that will lead him back into the underbelly of Seattle's supernatural world--a world that Lachlan is neither prepared, nor particularly suited for. He may have left the Seattle Police Department for good, but it doesn't look like the life will leave him alone. Meanwhile, Vector Clanahan has his own work with the FBI to get back to. Temporarily on loan with the Drug Enforcement Agency, Vector's on the trail of a new designer magical drug: Omen. No one knows quite what it does, but so far it's killed the DEA warlock who studied it as well as a string of partygoers across America's major cities, and now it looks like it may have found a new home in Seattle. Return to an alternate vision of Seattle, where the magical and supernatural are known. Where fate runs a magic shop and Sundays include dinner with a werewolf pack. Where death comes in many guises and love is never easy. The Profane Series is a companion to The Blood & Bone Series.
