    Summary

    Precisely three years, twenty-six weeks, seven hours, and fifty-one minutes ago, the Pie-Maker, an individual known as Rook Laidir, partnered up with private investigator Neve Gallus to solve murders. Each investigation has adhered to three simple rules. First touch, life. Second touch, dead. Never keep someone alive-again for more than one minute. Enough time to ask the murder victim who killed them. For years, this has worked out well, until now.

    When their rival baker and maybe lover, Solas, has been found murdered by his own decorative dagger, it is up to the investigative duo to find out who took his life. But when two Venatori cultists meddle with their investigation, Rook, Neve, and Solas are left to deal with what happens when the one minute mark is exceeded.

    To make matters more difficult, a Mortalitasi agent—Emmrich Volkarin—is in Minrathous on the hunt for unlicensed necromancers, and he suspects Rook.
