Inspector Hobbes and the Blood

Of
all the journalists at his small-town paper, Andy Caplet is far and
away the worst. At least he has a job. But when his latest expose on the
strange and scandalous Inspector Hobbes backfires, Andy is left broke
and homeless. The inspector’s offer of a spare room for a few days (or
months) seems like the only option…

Andy agrees to accompany the
inspector to investigate a sudden surge in crime and soon finds himself
immersed in a world beyond humanity. It turns out that Inspector Hobbes
eats raw bones, their housekeeper collects teeth, and their guests
include trolls, dwarves, and ghouls. As Andy tries to piece together the
inspector’s true identity, his new partner is hard at work solving
unexplainable murders, suicides, and robberies. If they can’t learn to
work together and solve the mystery in time, the chilling fate of their
charming town will be sealed…
