Detective Andrea Haney is tracking down the manufacturers of a new drug, fairy dust, that is dangerously toxic and killing an alarming number of users.   After three months of difficult investigations she’s disgusted to learn that her superiors have brought her former partner and lover, Darren O’Connel, in to help with the case.  The drug has a magical component that makes it very difficult to preserve, and Darren’s magical abilities lend themselves to the task.  They had parted five years earlier under painful circumstances, and while he seems eager to get back in her good graces, she’s not sure she can trust him.

After a rocky start Andrea begins to care for him again, but the case is going badly.  The drug is difficult to track and more people are dying, so Andrea and Darren resort to desperate measures.  Andrea can push her spirit from her body and track almost anyone in that form, but it’s a dangerous procedure.  Darren convinces her to try, and swears he can keep her body safe from damage while she tracks down the sorcerer behind it all.  Can she trust him to keep his word?  Can she trust herself to put her life in his hands?
