A Queer Trade
ByPublisher Description
Apprentice magician Crispin Tredarloe returns to London to find his master dead, and his papers sold. Papers with secrets that could spell death. Crispin needs to get them back before anyone finds out what he's been doing, or what his magic can do.
Crispin tracks his quarry down to waste paper dealer Ned Hall. He needs help, and Ned can't resist Crispin's pleading—and appealing—looks. But can the waste-man and the magician prevent a disaster and save Crispin's skin?
A 16,000 word story set in the Charm of Magpies world, and a prequel to the novel Rag and Bone
