Synopsis
"With Manhattan's Department of Extraordinary Affairs in disarray (forget vampires and zombies--it's the budget cuts that can kill you), Simon Canderous is still expected to stamp out any crime that adds the 'para' to 'normal.' And his newest case is no exception... A university professor has been found murdered in his apartment. His lungs show signs of death by drowning. But his skin and clothes? Bone-dry. Now Simon has to rely on his own powers--plus a little help from his ghost-whispering partner an technomancer girlfriend--to solve a mystery that has the NYPD stumped and the D.E.A. shaken and stirred."--P. [4] of cover.
