It is about a book i read some time ago, cant remember title/writer :-(
It is about a government run operation to cover up all 'weird' magic/undead/psych abilities and other stuff connected. One of the story plot-points that maybe gives a clue is the scene that the main character climbs a ladder to change the board that says xxx days without vampires, later on he has the shameful duty to restore the nr of days without, because it was not a vampire 'outbreak' after al, but a different kinda creature ;-).
I don't know if it is any use to post more details?
It was a secret department hidden behind a coffee-shop/cinema..
The main character has the ability to 'see' (relive?) the past of certain items he touches, and has a partner that can see dead people.
One of the big things they where fighting against was a Cult, spiritsniffing was als one of the things, compressed spirit energy turned people into junkies when used..

[edit]
'bureaucratic' secret agency, there desks are constantly filled with piles of forms to fill out ;-) No high priced tech gadgets, more like a total lack of it (money is always running tight, budget cuts are the day to day reality), and a lot of inner department struggle , also a very old society that takes the guy in (works kinda in/with the department), but i can not remember what it was called :-(
[/edit]
It is a humorous kinda story i liked a lot, and wanted to find out if he/she had wrote some more.
