Has this been done?!

[Moritz]

The only investigator type UF I read is Dresden Files. So I have no clue if this has been done before:

- there are hidden supernaturals
- the story is about a group of mundane and supernatural people who cover there traces

The Russian Night Watch has some elements of it, as the two factions police each other, but otherwise I haven't seen this yet.

Pretty common, actually.  One of the more common types of things, aside from supernaturals having their own police type agency.

Do you have any examples?

The "Mercy" and "Alpha and Omega" series by Patricia Briggs. That series is mostly about vampires, werewolves, and faeries struggling to hide themselves in a growing world, and eventually to make themselves look good when they do reveal themselves.

Its touched on a bit in The Man With the Golden Torque, but Simon R. Green.

[Guardian 452]

"Dead to Me" by Anton Strout is another series involving people with supernatural abilities who work in a government-funded agency.  They cover up their tracks, even having a front man who does news interviews and the like.

I'm in the opinion that everything has been done before.  The only difference is if you can make people like your stuff more.

Yeah, what they said.

hm, I mean an agency who's job is specifically to cover up other people's traces. like "cleaners".

@THETA: Yes, sure. I just want to know what is out there so that I don't copy something 100%. I mean, the thing is not set in the US and will be a comic, so I guess it's novel in a way, but I would like to know other takes on it.

In the comic that spawned the two movies, the Men In Black also looked into the supernatural occurances too. There is the rpg, Bureau 13, that spawned some books. I think the rpg Chill also had a government agency that took care of supernatural thingies. In the novel that the movie Vampire$, there was an agency, backed by the Catholic Church, that went after vampires. There is the Initative in the Whedonverse. The Laundry, from the Jennifer Morgue, by Charles Stross.
