'There's a dead girl in a dumpster and a unicorn on the loose and no-one knows how bad that combination can get better than Miriam Aster. What starts as a consulting job for city homicide quickly becomes a tangled knot of unexpected questions, and working out the link between the dead girl and the unicorn will draw Aster back into the world of the exiled fey she thought she'd left behind ten years ago. All in all, Miriam Aster isn't happy. The last time she worked a case like this it cost her a badge, a partner, and her life.' Source: http://twelfthplanetpress.wordpress.com/ (Sighted 28/09/2009).
For ten years ex-cop Miriam Aster has been living with her one big mistake – agreeing to kill three men for the exiled Queen of Faerie. But when an old case comes back to haunt her it brings a spectre of the past with it, forcing Aster to ally herself with a stuntwoman and a magic cat in order to rescue a kidnapped TV star from the land of Faerie and stop the half-breed sorcerer who needs Aster’s blood.
Ten years ago Miriam Aster learnt a simple lesson: when a faerie asks you to kill someone, the worst thing you can say is sure. Today she’s about to learn that worse things can happen when the past refuses to stay behind you. Source: http://www.twelfthplanetpress.com/store-items/bleed (Sighted 20/08/12).
