The right-handed booksellers are the intellectuals. The left-handed are the weapons.
Susan Arkshaw just moved to London. She will be starting art school in three months. She has come early to research her father. She has no name, only a small silver case and a reading room ticket from the 1970s.
Susan's first stop is at Uncle Frank's. He is not really her uncle, but her only clue. When she gets here, Merlin (a left-handed bookseller) has turned Frank to dust.
Since Susan can see this, it means she has some magic in her. This becomes more evident when thing keep hunting her.
Nix is one of my favorite authors. His imagination leads to wonderful stories, many which combine magic, myth and the Old World. This is no exception!
