A Usual Suspect
Vanessa Nelson
**She can see the truth, but when she's accused of murder, no one believes she's innocent.**Hallie works as a skip tracer - hunting down people wanted by the law, for one reason or another. It's not glamourous, and it doesn't pay all that well. But it's legal work, and that's hard to come by in the cramped quarters of old town. When a childhood friend calls her in a panic, Hallie goes to help and gets a lot more than she bargained for. One of the elite has been murdered and the special investigators are looking for someone to blame. The moment Hallie is near a dead body of one of the ruling class, her hard work and clean record count for nothing. She just becomes a usual suspect. Worse, the real killer also wants Hallie dead.

A Lost Treasure
Vanessa Nelson
**How do you find something no one wants to admit even exists?**With her life turned upside down, it's almost a relief for Hallie to be asked to work a case. She is tasked with helping the Conclave Investigators follow up on a suspected theft, and also help track down one of their own - Special Investigator Girard Abbott has gone missing. But nothing is straightforward. The supposed victim of the theft doesn't seem interested in helping with the investigation. No one seems to know what's been stolen. Girard may not just be missing, but also injured - or worse. And then Hallie senses the stirring of ancient magic, powerful enough to threaten her entire city. Hallie will need all of her resources, from her own magic to the allies and friends she's gathered over the years, to try and save her city from ruin.

An Unwanted Heir
Vanessa Nelson
**Be careful what you wish for.**Hallie has always wanted to travel, and now she's getting her wish - leaving the city she's lived in all her life to investigate a violent death at the country home of Cotovatre, who is not only one of the most powerful people in the world but also has a personal connection to Hallie. It quickly becomes clear that nothing is quite what it seems. The victim and the house's owner were apparently locked in a bitter feud, or at least that's what everyone is trying to tell Hallie. And there seem to be a lot of people who don't want the truth of the death uncovered. Together with Investigator Girard Abbott, Hallie will need to use all her skills and her secret magic to navigate her way through the tangled politics of the elite and uncover the true killer before the situation can explode into more violence. *An Unwanted Heir* continues Hallie's story, which started in *A Usual Suspect* (reading the series in order is recommended as later books may contain spoilers for earlier storylines). If you like your fantasy with a high dose of mystery, a heroine who can hold her own and a dash of magic, you will love this new series by Vanessa Nelson.
