Book du jour: Bloodhound

by Tamora Pierce

I should have known tonight’s watch would kiss the mule’s bum when Sergeant Ahuda stopped me after baton training.

Bluntly honest junior “Dog” Beka Cooper is back on the case, this time sent to another town to sniff out a counterfeiting ring. I missed Rosto and her other friends, but was glad to meet a new and varied cast of characters. A great mix of fantasy and detective story.
