In Memory's Shadow
As a tie-in novel for the TTRPG Mists & Memory, this novel tells the noir tale of four anthropomorphic investigators as they struggle to regain their memories and control of their lives in a city that's continually being destroyed and recreated by a malevolent Mist.
Private investigator Cory Anderson has a problem--he's missing pieces of his memories, slivers of his self . . . and he doesn't even realize it yet. His day-to-day investigations of humdrum cheating husbands and wives take a turn for the more intriguing when he starts to look into the death of the partner who taught him the business, Sam Hornsback. This investigation takes him through the twisty, secretive back streets of the city, and lands him in the middle of a massive conspiracy that's . . . out to save reality as they know it?
Gradually, Cory gathers allies--the Dog police detective, Jack Shepherd, the Crow Librarian, Branwen Kinley, and the Cat assassin, Laila Meriten. And together, they search for their memories and their selves on the streets of a city where malevolent Mist threatens to unmake reality on a daily basis.
