Diz and Dee, our favorite private investigators, are back in their longest—and wildest—adventure yet!

Dee should know better. Whenever her mom asks for a simple little favor, like tracking down who trashed her craft store and stole her yarn, things inevitably get weird. Of course, when you're an otherwise unremarkable human with an unreliable touch of precognition, a dog who only sometimes looks like a Golden Retriever, and a long-standing secret crush on your hunky but grumpy elf partner, you measure weird on a sliding scale.

But this one takes the cake!

In a tale that involves dragons in disguise, a pissed off goblin, an annoyed halfling, a remorseful troll, and—oh yeah—a being who calls itself Crimson Death, Diz and Dee find themselves in a battle to the death for not only the fate of Moretown Bay, but the entire world!

A must read for Diz and Dee fans everywhere, "The Wizard Behind the Curtain" weaves aspects from Annie's other Moretown Bay stories into a compelling page-turner you won't be able to put down. Available as a standalone ebook or part of the Uncollected Anthology's Diversity of Dragons issue #31.
