Always tagged c: aura, even if she doesn't personally make an appearance.

Carter, once a cop, now forced into a high-profile but unwanted liaison role, finds himself in the middle of a heist at a museum. When the night is over, most of the criminals are dead, though his recollection of the events is hazy. Determined to find out what happened, he tracks down two witnesses from that night, Aura and Nikolai.

Aura and Nikolai are not pleased to see him. They are not human and Carter shouldn't remember them at all - but by some genetic quirk he's immune to their hypnotic powers. He rather wishes he weren't, for now he's become tangled up with a supernatural world he never believed existed.

But when a series of murders plagues the city, Carter finds that Aura and Nikolai's unique talents might be the only way he can stop the killing spree.
