‘Smithers and Wing are partners (and wives) in supernatural crime-solving. Together they haunt the back streets of Edinburgh, putting the bumps back to rest – for a fee.’

Introducing Smithers and Wing, a rogue magician and private detective: partners in supernatural sleuthing. Their cases with ghosts and demons have gone a bit quiet, so they take on a case to find missing schoolgirl in Edinburgh, and to find her, they must reckon with their pasts. If you love your graphic novels to be smart, dark and pacy, with a dash of sly humour, then you’ve just found your new favourite fictional detectives!
