The Stein & Candle Detective Agency, Vol. 2: Cold Wars (The Stein & Candle Detective Agency #2)
“2: Cold Wars Crimson CatchWeatherby and I walked into the lobby of the Gillman House Hotel in uptown Innsmouth, and I could smell war in the air, heavier than even the scent of fish.

I wouldn’t have dragged myself to Innsmouth, Massachusetts unless it was for my job.

Weatherby and I entered the hotel after parking outside, and walked across the lobby to the receptionist. Quite a few Innsmouth locals were loafing around the lobby, chunky fellows in worn suits, oilskins, trench coats and battered bowler hats and flat caps.
