Sacha discovers he can see magic— and his world turns upside down. aDVaNCE REaDING COPY NOT FOR SaLE highly recommended! —Garth Nix B ing an Inquisit r is no o or a nice e ish bo But Sacha’s new talent gets him yanked out of everyday life on Hester Street and apprenticed to the Police Depart- ment’s star Inquisitor, Maximillian Wolf. The Inquisitors’ mission is to stop magical crime. And New York at the beginning of the twentieth century is a magical melting pot, where each ethnic group has its own brand of homegrown witchcraft. Soon Sacha has teamed up with fellow apprentice Lily Astral, daughter of one of the city’s richest Wall Street Wizards—and a spoiled snob, if you ask Sacha. Their first job is to find out who’s trying to kill Thomas Edison. Edison has invented a machine that could unleash the worst witch- hunt in American history. Every magician in town has a motive to kill him. But as the investigation unfolds, all the clues lead back to the Lower East Side. And Sacha soon realizes that his own family could be accused of murder! Chris Moriarty is an award-winning science fiction author who wrote this book for her son, the real-life Sacha. Chris lives in upstate New York. Mark Edward GEyEr is best known as the illustrator of Stephen King’s The Green Mile. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
