Thriller Spy | Young Adult Science Fiction
Prisons, poisons, and passions combine in a gorgeously
written fantasy noir by the author of the Morris Award-
winning A CURSE DARK AS GOLD.
As a pickpocket, Digger expects to spend a night in jail
every now and then. But she doesn't expect to find Lord
Durrel Decath there as well--or to hear he's soon to be
executed for killing his wife. Durrel once saved Digger's life, and when she goes free, she
decides to use her skills as a thief, forger, and spy to
investigate his case and return the favor. But each new clue
only opens up more mysteries. While Durrel's marriage was
one of convenience, his behavior has been more impulsive
than innocent. His late wife had an illegal business on the
wrong side of the civil war raging just outside the city
gates. Digger keeps finding forbidden magic in places it has
no reason to be. And it doesn't help that she may be falling in love with a
murderer . . .
