All Out of Leeds: Magic, menace, & snark in a Yorkshire urban fantasy - Kim M. Watt

nWalk softly, and carry a very big stick...n n nn nDI Adams fled London to escape bridge-dwelling monsters and magical toasties - a one-time experience she's in no hurry to repeat. She's police, not some cryptid hunter.n n nn nLeeds has other plans, though.n n nn nTasked with the seemingly mundane case of a missing necklace, Adams soon realises she's stumbled into something inexplicable. The trinket is dangerous, and she's the only one who recognises it for what it is - a weapon that could tear the north apart.n n nn nJuggling unhelpful colleagues, amnesiac witnesses, and problematic women of a certain age, Adams plunges into the treacherous, magic-soaked streets of Leeds. She may not have backup, but at least she has the invisible, caffeine-addicted dog by her side.n n nn nPlus a duck. And a very big stick.n n nn nShe's got this. She has to. n n nn nBecause there's no one else who can...n n nn n###n n nn nThis is book one in the DI Adams Mysteries, but you may want to check out the prequel, What Happened in London, to discover the significance of that duck.n n nn nThe 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.n
