Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

The Wolf Sees All
Myles Harding has always been sharp, but since the change, his senses have reached an unnatural peak. Every detail, every sound, every scent—nothing escapes him. The flick of a lighter across the street, the tremor in a liar’s voice, the faintest trace of blood under polished fingernails.
It’s a gift, but it’s also a curse. There’s no shutting it off. The city is loud, the crimes are messy, and the truth is always uglier than it seems. When Myles focuses, his mind locks in like a predator hunting its prey—except sometimes, what he finds isn’t something he was ready to see.
His hunger for the truth drives him forward, but the things he sees? They linger. They haunt. The screams in the alley, the look in a victim’s eyes, the sickly scent of fear—he can’t forget them, no matter how much he drinks, how many cases he solves, or how hard he tries to drown it all out.
The wolf inside thrives on the hunt, but Myles? Myles still has to live with it.
