There's more than one way to get to Faery. It's getting back that's the problem...
DI Adams is not having a good summer. Her house has been hexed. Her DCI's muttering about mental health breaks. Her invisible dog keeps disappearing at inopportune moments. And to top it all off, her parents have just turned up, determined to experience all Yorkshire has to offer.
And they're going to get more than they bargained for, because someone else has turned up too.
He calls himself Velmyr Duskthorn, Lord of the Fae, and he's demanding a powerful book Adams doesn't have, can't get, and couldn't hand over anyway - unless she fancies starting an inter-species war.
But when her parents go missing, the whole game changes.
Now Adams is racing against rogue portals, dangerous sheep, and trigger-happy farmers, plus the closing net of her own colleagues. Her allies are thinning out fast, but she still has her duck, her Dandy, and one very large stick. And this is her family.
So if Faery wants to fight? Come on and give it a go ...
***
This is book five in the DI Adams Mysteries, which began somewhat further south with What Happened in London, before heading to Yorkshire in All Out of Leeds.
The DI Adams Mysteries contain no graphic violence, scenes of a sexual nature, or strong language, but they do contain some blasphemy, as well as a truly disturbing level of caffeine consumption.
