Alex Connor thought that being the South Dakota Hughes County Coroner was going to be a boring, cushy job. She didn't count on the fact that her first case would leave her with a magical, living tattoo and awaken her latent magical powers. Now she's a full-fledged member of Precinct 13, a paranormal police unit, and is trying to make a life with her dragon familiar, Valentine. Just when things seem to be settling down, bodies start falling out of the sky... literally.

Unjust Cause is the sequel to Precinct 13
