Private investigator Brandie Wells has just received her first official case in months. After her last made the news, forcing her into an unpaid sabbatical, she's just glad to get back to work. Investigating a string of dropped charges on the edge of a small forest town has her curious: why has each charge been dropped within 90 days, and why are they all against the same people? An unforseen journey awaits as Brandie discovers what's so wrong- or better yet, so right- about the town of Obara Falls: who runs it, who loves it, and who feeds its appetite. Will she be consumed like all the rest? Or will she beat her first case? As the saying goes: you catch more butterflies with Blood and Honey.
