Considering the very strange circumstances surrounding the death, the case is handed to Mulder and Scully. As they investigate of the man's service history, they find an old case him and his partner worked on, involving a psychic hotline and several mysterious deaths. The trace eventually leads them to the small, run-down town of Crampton, where nothing is as it seems...

* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis:'' An FBI agent is shot and killed right inside the FBI HQ in what appears to be a high-profile assassination in broad daylight, but afterward his body shows no signs of violence and his assassin vanishes into thin air just as abruptly as he appeared. Considering the very strange circumstances surrounding the death, the case is handed to Mulder and Scully. As they investigate of the man's service history, they find an old case him and his partner worked on, involving a psychic hotline and several mysterious deaths. The trace eventually leads them to the small, run-down town of Crampton, where nothing is as it seems...
* ''Comments:'' A well-written ScriptFic that is easy to imagine as an actual episode of the show and perhaps one of the most successful attempts at combining ''The X-Files'' with the CosmicHorrorStory genre. The work captures Mulder and Scully's character dynamic incredibly well and, though somewhat toned down in the name of OriginalFlavour, manages to hit several of the dark notes from Ligotti's other cosmic horror stories.

* Comments: From XF_Book_Club on Livejournal: "Agent Luskin is back, retired from the FBI and running a detective agency with one other investigator: Fox Mulder. However, Agent Luskin isn’t sure that Mulder is investigating what he’s supposed to be investigating. This is post-series but pretty much ignores anything that happens after Mulder’s abduction."
