She Wore a Trench Coat

"She Wore a Trench Coat" is a short story by American author Don Webb. Although it forms part of the Arkham Detective Agency series, it has little to do with the Agency itself.
== Synopsis ==
Beat cop Travis Mazoni is assigned to surveillance of the Arkham Detective Agency by a shadowy government department after he witnesses a bizarre death on the street: the woman is literally consumed from within by small, dark, ephemeral creatures which disappear in the aftermath.
Investigating on his own time, Mazoni uncovers a link to the "Church of the Transformations", which is in reality a cult devoted to the Great Old One Eihort. Although nearly ensnared by their enchantments, Mazoni manages to break the spell and escape. He subsequently resigns from the Arkham Police Department and leaves town.
