Hard Spell by

Hard Spell by Justin Gustainis
The plot involves forbidden magic and its horrifying collateral damage. However, the process of solving the crime involves fairly standard police work. Our narrator specializes in crimes by and against the supernatural. It's Law and Order: SVU meets The Dresden Files.
