The Department of Magic

Jasmine Farah and Rocco di Angelo compete for the same job in a dusty office of a secret Federal agency. When their new boss is murdered, Jasmine and Rocco plunge into a nightmare gallop through a world of ghosts, spooks, vampires, demons, and Voodoo gods. With a magical cast of characters and a wry insider’s view of the Federal government, here at last is a Harry Potter for grownups.
