Christmas can be murder on a relationship that's on the rocks.
The Phoenix Institute, Book 3.5
As Christmas approaches in crumbling Charlton City, Detective Aloysius James and his partner, Noir, are at a crossroads. Figuring out how to reconcile their careers with their relationship is harder than catching the bad guys.
Now that Noir has learned to control her invisibility and is making a name for herself among the city's artist collective, Al senses there's something she's keeping from him. And he doesn't know how long they can remain partners. Or even lovers.

When a murder lands them on opposite sides--Al ready to arrest a suspect Noir insists in innocent--they're going to need to unwrap all the ghosts of their pasts to make this...
