Prey of Avarice - C. Richard Franklins

Missing students, hellbent sorcerers, and hicks in the woods. Just another day on the job for Azorin Academy's best detective, Isabel Reeves.

Students are safe within the wards which keep the magical academy hidden from Sapiens. But keeping their secrets from the non-magically inclined is not the only reason for the protection from the outside world. Dangers lurk in the paranormal.

When first-year student Felix Archer leaves campus with his mother, he learns of the dangers lurking within his own family. With one of her own pupils in peril, will Isabel Reeves find him in time?

If you like easy-reading detective cases in a continuing series featuring trusted sidekicks and a woman full of snark and confidence whose world does not rotate around the men in her life, join the adventures of Azorin Academy's Isabel Reeves.
