Twenty-one-year-old Scarlett "Red" Riding Hood is the most feared consulting detective in the Kingdom of Confection: a nation ruled by the benevolent Candy Queen, yet rotting from within.
Scarlett possesses an almost uncanny ability to read people: micro-expressions, tells, the weight of lies. She is brilliant, manipulative, devastatingly attractive, and driven by a single obsession: finding the man in the golden question mark mask who slaughtered her family before her five-year-old eyes.
Scarlett operates from the Hunters' Agency, a clandestine organization that solves crimes the Syndicates would rather bury. Her methods are unconventional, her morals flexible, her wardrobe impeccable.
Everything changes when the Agency assigns her a new partner: Goldie Locks, a seventeen-year-old prodigy with a mysterious past and an uncanny knack for finding "just the right" evidence. Goldie is young, idealistic, and sees the world in black and white; everything Scarlett is not.
But in a world where monsters wear crowns and angels wear masks, Scarlett must confront the most terrifying truth of all; sometimes the hunter becomes exactly what she's hunting.
