This was supposed to be an easy scoop, but with magic, nothing’s never easy. It’s not every day that a whistleblower shows up and drops a satchel full of damning documents in my lap. Photographs, audits, and reports, all showing willful wrongdoing by a major magical manufacturer; everything a journalist could ever want for a front page story. Then the whistleblower wound up dead, and my easy work week was shattered. Despite official reports, I knew he didn’t die in a workplace safety accident. What was less obvious, at least until I started digging, was how much fallout his death would leave behind. My whistleblower wasn’t just mixed up with mundane workplace safety audits, and if I can’t find who killed him, his death will only be the start. ... The following work contains depictions of violence, mortal peril, death, police violence, psychological distress, and mentions of self harm and terminal illness.
