Ten Little Wizards
By Michael Kurland
Lord Darcy is on a mission …
It is the year 1988 in the Angevin Empire – an alternative universe much like our own, save for two vital differences: the House of Plantagenet (the descendants of King Richard I the Lionheart and his nephew, Prince Arthur) still rules in England and France and the New World; and, the science of magic has displaced the magic of science.
But magic can’t solve everything.…
One impossible crime, the murder of a wizard, is a puzzle.
Two impossible crimes, also involving a wizard, are a challenge.
Three impossible crimes, still involving a wizard, are enough to worry even Lord Darcy, the Angevin Empire’s chief investigator, and his right-hand man, the Master Sorcerer Sean O Lauchlainn. And when the life of King John IV, their sovereign, is itself at stake, the two detectives must solve their most daunting puzzle yet.
Ten Little Wizards is a first-class continuation of the amazing characters created by the late Randall Garrett.
