Beka Cooper trades in her life in the lower city to start training as a Dog (the slang for police officer in her time) for the local provost or magistrate. Being accepted as a new Puppy in the guard has its challenges, but Beka has special advantages. She has the ability to hear the souls of the dead who ride on the backs of pigeons and the voices of murdered victims in the midst of the dust spinners that swirl on street corners.
Along with her magical and intuitive cat, Pounce, and her two trainers, Tunstall and Goodwin, she is out to discover who is behind the disappearance of lower city children, someone who claims to be the Shadow Snake, and the mystery behind the magic stones.
A fast and entertaining book, Beka is a likable character and the story is action packed and addictive! I can't wait to read the second book.
