Badge of the Bone Ritual Archer Hay

Agatha Christie would not approve.




This new dark humor series is fun, fast-paced, and finely-laced with F-bombs. This is a prickly mystery that breaks all the rules: violence, sexual innuendo, and dark themes abound in this story about a modern witch-cop who rides a fine line--and not a broomstick.




When esteemed detective and modern witch, Scotty, is assigned to investigate a violent ram raid at a pharmacy, she readies herself for a long afternoon of saying, "Just the facts, ma'am." But when the clues start tracking her down instead of vice versa, it becomes clear the robbery enshrouds something much more sinister. Soon, even Scotty's closest friends and colleagues are not above suspicion, and when she discovers she can communicate with a disembodied voice, she begins to wonder if she can even trust herself.


Besieged by the unknown, there is only one thing that can unmask the true criminals: a bone ritual. This expert-level witchery is beyond Scotty's amateur dabbling, but she has friends in low places who know exactly how to bend the dark arts to tip the scales of justice. With the help of a garish multi-level-marketing queen, an oddball occultist, and a truehearted Taco Bell manager, Scotty embarks on a hilarious rogue quest to catch the criminals and to find the body that belongs to that disembodied voice before it is silenced forever.
