Myths & Murder

When Marty's health insurance refuses to pay for her schizophrenia meds, she finds a job with better benefits that will... in mythical law enforcement. Armed with a badge and a magical boomerang, she trains with a sixteen-inch tall, surly dragon named Windsor to patrol the mythical creatures in her city of Richmond. To keep her job, she'll have to prove to her new boss, an axe-wielding dwarf, that she can handle her on-the-job training. That starts with investigating a murder surrounding the theft of a semi-immortal fruit.

As she searches for the killer, Marty has to figure out how to hide the bizarre nature of her job from her mother, survive a flying rug that's determined to fling her into trees and traffic, and help her father when he stops taking his schizophrenia meds. There's also the cute ruler of Richmond's dragons who seems interested in Marty but comes with enough baggage to sink a fleet of aircraft carriers.

Myths & Murder takes readers on a hilarious and heartfelt adventure through a magical world hidden beneath our own that's filled with amazing creatures and fantastical places.

"Marty Bishop’s boss is a dwarf, her partner is a dragon, and that’s only the start of the fun in a rollicking young adult urban fantasy. Much like his characters, Bill Blume has a supernatural ability—he makes the pages fly by. " --Brad Parks, International Bestselling Author of The Flack
