Nicole Glover delivers the second book in her exciting Murder & Magic series of 

historical fantasy novels featuring Hetty Rhodes and her husband, Benjy, magic

practitioners and detectives living in post–Civil War Philadelphia

Nothing bothers Hetty and Benjy Rhodes more than a case where the answers, motives,

and the murder itself feel a bit too neat. Raimond Duval, a victim of one of the many fires

that have erupted recently in Philadelphia, is officially declared dead after the accident,

but Hetty and Benjy’s investigation points to a powerful Fire Company known to let homes

in the Black community burn to the ground. Before long, another death breathes new life

into the Duval investigation: Raimond’s son, Valentine, is also found dead.

Finding themselves with the dubious honor of taking on Valentine Duval as their first

major funeral, it becomes clear that his passing was intentional. Valentine and his father’s

deaths are connected, and the recent fires plaguing the city might be more linked to

recent community events than Hetty and Benji originally thought.

The Undertakers continues the adventures of murder and magic, where even the most

powerful enchantments can’t always protect you from the ghosts of the past . . .
