The top-secret detective division of wizards, WI-6, recruits Derrick who has proved himself to be clever, resourceful and an out-of-the spellbook thinker. He is deemed the perfect choice to investigate such a comical and puzzling death.
Things get even more intriguing when the WI-6 assigns Derrick to work with a beautiful yet mysterious partner from the London branch who is not a fellow wizard, but a shifter.
When Derrick breaks every rule in the wizard spellbook and falls for his partner, he gets sloppy, and the killer comes after her. If Derrick uses black magic to solve the case and save his partner, it will be the end of his wizarding career. But if he doesn’t, it could be the end of them both.
