What’s this?
Jake Caro lives on a houseboat in Sausalito with a cat who considers himself management, quietly looking after a magical community most people will never know exists. He used to work for the Office, the government’s most classified supernatural operation. He left before they figured out just how much he could do.
Now the power is draining. The Bay’s rhythm is off, people with talent are disappearing, and a body turns up carrying a resonance signature that shouldn’t exist. Jake’s investigation leads him back through his own past, into a conspiracy that stretches from the city’s underground markets to the edge of something ancient and sealed for good reason.
Stopping it will take every ally he can find and abilities he’s spent years making sure no one ever sees. Jake has a crew, most of a plan, and people worth fighting for.
J S Howard is a journalist, former staff book reviewer, and longtime resident of Sausalito, the fog-edged waterfront community where Jake Caro lives, investigates, and occasionally blows things up. He wrote the Rift Keeper Trilogy because the Bay Area has always felt like a place where the membrane between the real and the impossible runs thin. Frayed Circuits is the first book in the trilogy.
