Sable Duvane doesn't do favors - especially not for the city's Paranormal Medical Examiner.
But when Tess Calder asks her to look at a body that shouldn't exist - a vampire, truly dead and still intact - Sable finds herself drawn into something much colder than the corpse.
The mystery runs deeper than the morgue. Tess is sharp, unreadable, and exactly the kind of complication Sable doesn't need. What begins as a one-time favor drags them into the heart of the city's para elite - and into truths buried deep enough to leave scars.
Sable, accompanied by her feline familiar Pye, investigates a world where the supernatural hides behind smoky mirrors and secrets come with bloodstains, trust is dangerous... and desire might be worse.
Now in an expanded edition with new scenes and sharper edges, High Stake at Nick & Nora's kicks off The Duvane & Calder Files, a gritty paranormal noir series filled with dark humor, sapphic tension, and mysteries where the dead don't always stay dead.
