Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 368 pages. cover corner creasedEthan Kaille isn't the likeliest hero. A former sailor with a troubled past, Ethan is a thieftaker, using conjuring skills to hunt down those who steal from the good citizens of Boston. And while chasing down miscreants in 1768 makes his life a perilous one, the simmering political tensions between loyalists like hi mself and rabble-rousing revolutionaries like Samuel Adams and others of his ilk are perhaps even more dangerous to his health. When one hundred sailors of Kin g George III's Royal Navy are mysteriously killed on a ship in Boston Harbor, Et han is thrust into dire peril. For he?and not Boston's premier thieftaker, Sephi ra Pryce?is asked to find the truth behind their deaths. City Sheriff Edmund Gre enleaf suspects conjuring was used in the dastardly crime, and even Pryce knows that Ethan is better equipped to contend with matters of what most of Boston con siders dark arts. But even Ethan is daunted by magic powerful enough to fell so many in a single stroke. When he starts to investigate, he realizes that the mas s murderer will stop at nothing to evade capture. And making his task more diffi cult is the British fleet's occupation of the city after the colonials' violent protests after the seizure of John Hancock's ship. Kaille will need all his own magic, street smarts, and a bit of luck to keep this Boston massacre from giving the hotheads of Colonial Boston an excuse for inciting a riot?or worse. Thieve s' Quarry is a stunning second novel in D. B. Jackson's Thieftaker Chronicles. Editorial Reviews Review At once a gripping historical mystery and an inventiv e urban-style fantasy, the book should appeal to a wide spectrum of readers. Mor e Ethan Kaille adventures would be most welcome. ?Booklist Splendid period deta.…
