Magic. Murder. Mystery.

In Aeromorea, a cube-shaped world, where every bloodline has a magical blessing and a curse, Detective Merlonoit Alondere yearns to sail to another surface to find the cure for his ailing lover. The price, however, is too high.

Yet everything changes when a powerful political figure approaches Merl to investigate the mysterious death of Kyster Kinstone, an invincible man. If he solves the case, Merl will be given voyage to the cure. Merl instantly accepts, using his blessing of heightened senses to find clues others cannot.

But he has competition; his hateful uncle, conniving brother-in-law, and twin brother are joining the investigation, and some have their own reasons for wanting Merl to fail.

As Merl battles his own family for the prize, he faces similar chaos from shady suspects: a cruel mother, a joyful chef, an unruly bride, a bitter farmer, and a 500-year-old man who can harvest the time of others and keep it for himself. Each one has their own secrets... secrets worth killing for.

"The Sleuth Apparent is flat out fun! It's possessed of wonderful characters, mystery, and some inventive bits of the fantastic. But as much as all that, it was a pleasure to read. Jackson has a bright future."-Peter Orullian, author of The Unremembered
