But with no clue about what to do with the rest of his life, he agrees to take on one more assignment: speaking with a mysterious man who can make wishes come true.

Due to a cadre of corrupt powerful men, the world grows bleaker by the day, and the Bureau chief hopes that the wish-granter, Dee Martell, can help tip the balance back toward good. The opposing forces, however, are doing everything in their power to have him tip the balance in their favor instead.

The problem is, even Dee doesn’t understand his talent—or have any conviction what he wants to do with it. After living his life as a loner, Dee is now caught up in a deadly tug-of-war… with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.

Thrown together against their will, Achilles and Dee face impossible odds. But they learn they also have powerful allies. As they struggle to distinguish monsters from heroes, they discover that hope is a mighty weapon and that even the smallest effort matters.

CAMOUFLAGED

Life isn’t always easy for a Bureau agent who’s also a dragon.

Ever since Ralph Crespo was trapped in human form, he’s been going through the motions at a job he once loved. Maybe that’s why the Bureau chief seems to have demoted him to messenger. But this time a letter delivery allows Ralph to meet Anton Steinmann, and Ralph’s life takes a turn toward the unexpected.

Anton loves his remote home with its extensive caves. He’s less fond of his leadership position, however, and definitely doesn’t want the offer Agent Crespo hands him. Then Anton is kidnapped and tortured. Someone wants him dead and he doesn’t know why.

How can anyone be true to himself in a world where he doesn’t really belong? Perhaps Ralph and Anton can find the answer together—if they survive long enough."},"textReviewsCount":6,"publicationDate":"","toBePublished":null,"editions":"4 editions","editionsUrl":"/work/editions/95282498-the-bureau-volume-3-caroled-camouflaged-the-bureau-7-8"}},{"isLibrarianView":false,"readOnlyStars":false,"book":{"imageUrl":"https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1673811034i/78194674._SX120_.jpg","bookId":"78194674","workId":"101027940","bookUrl":"/book/show/78194674-the-bureau-volume-4","from_search":false,"from_srp":false,"qid":null,"rank":null,"title":"The Bureau Volume 4 (The Bureau #9-10)","bookTitleBare":"The Bureau Volume 4","numPages":315,"avgRating":4.68,"ratingsCount":22,"author":{"id":4105707,"name":"Kim Fielding","isGoodreadsAuthor":true,"profileUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4105707.Kim_Fielding","worksListUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/author/list/4105707.Kim_Fielding"},"kcrPreviewUrl":"https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B0BRV488SV&ref=x_gr_w_preview_new_nf_story-20&tag=x_gr_w_preview_new_nf_story-20&preview=inline","description":{"truncatedHtml":"This collection contains the ninth and tenth Burea…","html":"This collection contains the ninth and tenth Bureau novellas.

CAUGHT

Art Gundersen did not make it as an agent with the Bureau of Trans-Species Affairs. But when Chief Townsend orders him out of the lab and into the mountains of northern California to collect evidence from a murder scene, Art’s happy to go. He looks forward to tromping around in the wilderness—and finds he enjoys the company of the forest technician who discovered the hiker’s corpse surrounded by sasquatch footprints.

Jerry Humboldt lives a somewhat reclusive life in the fire lookout tower. Nobody comments much on his enormous size. Or his unusually hairy feet. Then Art shows up, and Jerry is forced into some new realizations.

As Art and Jerry interact, they discover some long-past connections as well as some very present dangers. It’s a risky an awkward not-agent, a virginal “wild man” of the forest, and a multiple murderer—with the Bureau’s help six hundred miles away.
