This book features a worn, ink-stained leather cover that smells faintly of rain and cheap tobacco. The pages are filled with the gritty, staccato memoirs of a city watchman-turned-investigator. As you read, Flutter the Kenku provides a backing track of rhythmic finger-snapping and the sound of a distant, lonely saxophone.

“The city has ten million stories,” Flutter croaks in a gravelly, noir-inspired voice. “This one... ends in blood.”
