Hundred Ghost Soup (Bureau for Eternal Prosperity Book 1)

A Beijing orphan is nearly eighteen. He wants a family and a name, if only for a while. He hacks adoption papers to get them.

He also gets: a long train ride into an empty station in a ghost town. Ghosts. Their leaders, calling themselves Mr. and Mrs. Vulpin, are his new parents. They are illusion-casting fox spirits, glamorous, clever, and trapped. They need him to free themselves of the ghosts.

Our hero works for them and accepts their flaws so long as they pretend to be a family. But then he discovers their wonderful meals are illusory. Are the Vulpins up to no good? And the Peopleâ€™s Republic of China will never allow spirits to possess a town. To save them all, he must travel back to Beijing, rifle the Politburoâ€™s files, and find a Ministerâ€™s secrets. When he kindles the wrath of the Peopleâ€™s Liberation Army and the Minister of Fate himself, he must penetrate layers of illusions, decide whom he can trust, and learn to cook.

And then there is the matter of the soupâ€™s main ingredient: him.
