Leader sends in her best infiltrator, agent David Wilson-codename Fulcrum-to investigate. Armed with proper spy gear and high-level enchanted objects from the sixth floor, Wilson pries open the moldering Buttercrambe Hall while looking into Asher's death.

When another young student is found dead with similar advanced brain atrophy, Wilson suspects that someone, or something, is targeting magical practitioners. With the aid of Detective Chief Inspector Jones and Detective Constable Tull of the Thames Valley Police Force, Wilson discovers that in England, history is never far away, that the price of greatness is sometimes paid by the innocent, and on the moors of Yorkshire there's nowhere to hide when death comes for you.

Brain Drain is the ninth book in the Salt Mine series, an exciting urban fantasy about the black ops agency that monitors supernatural activity from its subterranean headquarters in the deep salt mines of Detroit, Michigan, USA.

If you enjoy the TV shows Supernatural, Grimm, Eureka, The Librarians, Warehouse 13, X-Files, Relic Hunter, or Fringe, you'll enjoy reading the Salt Mine series as they keep a lid on the wild esoteric world of the occult.

When magic is real, someone has to rein it in.
