  Summary

  The Dead Boy Detectives (and Living Associates) are back in business after their casework abroad. When a mother brings in a case that’s not what it seems, the fragile peace the agency has found begins to crack.

  (Featuring a beauty pageant, rancid vibes, behind the scenes access, mind games, and sad teenagers pretending they’re all fine, actually).
