Overview

The only thing scarier than a demon is a bureaucrat with a clipboard. Maya Rao, a Class C Warden of the Resting Place bookstore, thought she had seen it all: poltergeists in the poetry section, vampires in the classics aisle, and a cat who thinks he owns the place. She was wrong. When the dreaded ""Doom Phone"" rings, Maya receives a visit from Mr. Scrivener-a Senior Auditor from the Bureau of Magical Containment. He isn't there to buy a book; he's there to liquidate the assets. Literally. The Crime? A library book titled The Serpent's Jazz, stolen in 1924 by a bootlegging magician named Gatsby LeFantome. The Fine? Immediate erasure of the bookstore (and everyone inside it) from existence. With only 48 hours on the clock, Maya and her anxiety-prone assistant, Elias, must dive into the history of the Roaring Twenties. Their investigation leads them to a haunted speakeasy buried beneath a trendy yoga studio, a ghost flapper with a grudge, and a ""Sound Demon"" that eats silence for breakfast. Can Maya retrieve the cursed book, outsmart the demon, and file the paperwork before Mr. Scrivener turns her into a bottle of ink? Legends & Late Fees is the ninth installment in the Hollow's End Mysteries. It features a quirky cast, a tuxedo cat named Barnaby, no gore, and enough magical bureaucracy to make you appreciate the DMV.
