Description
An eccentric detective and her long-suffering assistant untangle a web of magic, deceit and murder in this imaginative fantasy reworking of the classic crime novel. In an opulent mansion on the borders of the Empire, an Imperial officer lies dead, killed when a tree spontaneously erupted from his body. Even in a world where contagions abound and the blood of the Leviathans causes strange magical changes, the death is both terrifying and impossible. The case is assigned to Ana Dolabra, an investigator whose brilliance is matched only by her eccentricity. Her new assistant, Dinios Kol, is an engraver magically altered to possess a perfect memory. As the investigation progresses, the mystery reveals a scheme that threatens the safety of the entire Empire. For Ana, it is a satisfyingly intricate puzzle; Din, meanwhile, must simply hold on for the ride.
