Thirteenth Sigil

Sequel to The Thirteenth Pillar A Section Thirteen Story After his last somewhat disastrous assignment, sidhe special detective Tuulois MacColewyn effectively got benched. But when a break-in at a high-tech storage facility leaves no witnesses-alive or, Cole's specialty, dead-and just one missing canister, he's recalled to Section Thirteen, the NYPD's paranormal branch. It's nice to get to work again with his current flame, Inspector Joss Vallimun, even if they do have their hands full: some mysterious force is cutting a swath through the city in search of that canister. If Cole and Joss figure that out, there's the disappearances of employees connected to a local children's television program to solve. Meanwhile, Internal Affairs is breathing down their necks. But while Section Thirteen is working to find the stolen property and figure out what it is, something even stranger starts happening. Children's imaginary friends are somehow manifesting themselves-and they're coming after Section Thirteen. Even with a newly deputized witch and an ogre to bolster their numbers, the detectives have their work cut out for them.
