Sparks fly when an exiled Fae prince and a straight-laced detective team up to solve a murder. Banished by his mother from Faerie, Raine Abarta wants nothing more than to entertain people on the streets of Wickney, Wisconsin. But when the daughter of a prominent senator stumbles upon his show, he's drawn into her world and her mother's murder. When Raine takes his act down to the police department with intentions of helping solve the puzzle-or, uh, the "case"-he meets the ultra-serious Detective Kennedi Craine. To his dismay, she views him as nothing more than a charlatan, but when has that ever stopped him? Kennedi's latest case is open and shut, more of a paperwork and media hassle than a case. Senator La Point, after all, was holding the smoking gun over his wife's lifeless body. So, when a random guy off the street walks in telling her she's wrong, she sends him on his merry way. At least she thinks she does. As he keeps popping up, she begins to wonder if he's on to something. And when he broaches a situation from her past, she just can't leave him alone. Raine helps her solve another small case, and she starts to wonder if there might be something more to both mysteries before her.
