Description:

Jocasta Pantile needs a case to keep the bailiff from the door. Stanislav Duff needs someone to find his prize spells. They seem to make the ideal client and enquiry agent. The trouble is that he intends to kill the thief and their accomplices when she finds them. She isn't hugely happy at the idea, but Jocasta knows that if she doesn't find them, Duff may kill her instead. If he doesn't kill her anyway; she knows too much. Neither of them realize just how far Duff's thirst for vengeance will take them...
