Book Description
A New York Times bestseller. Once a city of enormous wealth and culture, in its day Prague was home to emperors, alchemists, astronomers. When music student Sarah Weston finds herself with a summer job at Prague Castle cataloging Beethoven's manuscripts, she has no idea how dangerous her life is about to become. Prague is a threshold, Sarah is warned, and it is steeped in blood. It's not long after Sarah arrives that things start to go wrong. Her mentor, who was working at the castle, is thought to have committed suicide. Then Sarah begins to discover cryptic notes from him; could they be warnings? Following the clues about Beethoven's "Immortal Beloved", Sarah gets into more trouble than she could have reasonably expected. Arrests, sex and a touch of alchemy take Sarah on an exciting and occasionally dangerous trip. Along the way she catches the attention of a four-hundred-year-old dwarf, the handsome Prince Max, and a powerful U.S. senator with secrets she will do anything to hide. City of Dark Magic could be called a rom-com paranormal suspense novel, or it could simply be called one of the most entertaining novels of the year.

I salute you, Magnus Flyte!' Conan O'Brien 'A comical, rollicking and sexy thriller.' Huffington Post 'The most wickedly enchanting novel I've ever read and also the funniest. A Champagne magnum of intrigue and wit, this book sparkles from beginning to end.' Anne Fortier, bestselling author of Juliet

Book Description
After ten years in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Los Angeles Field Office, Inspector Richard Thatcher reluctantly reports to Washington D.C. He arrives the day after a mysterious assailant murders the Chief of Staff to the President. To Thatcher's dismay, he is assigned to command the investigation. An attack on the Mayor of the District of Columbia initially seems unrelated, but eventually it complicates matters. The media sensationally alleges that a high ranking conspiracy is underway, but Thatcher can find no evidence to substantiate this allegation. The immediate trail takes him to the White House where his aggressive approach antagonizes the suspicious President. An investigative reporter intrudes. Against his best judgment, Thatcher becomes entangled in a personal relationship with the younger woman. The leads take him across the country to the victim's widow, where a suspect divorce leads Thatcher to the possibility of a crime of passion. This effort directs him to the charming Mimi Wilson, the White House Spokesperson who had an affair with the murdered chief of staff, among others. Thatcher finds the mature Mimi more compatible than the aggressive nineties generation reporter. Things get worse when he pursues leads suggested by Mimi. A conniving Senator entraps Thatcher in a provocation that threatens to involve the Bureau in a highly critical congressional investigation. This brings Thatcher into direct conflict with the new White House Chief of Staff. As Thatcher threads his way through his convoluted investigation, he consults with the detectives from the Metropolitan Police who have no leads to the mayor's assailant. Neither Thatcher nor the city detectives can isolate a motive for either the White House murder or the attack on the Mayor. Gradually the evidence accumulates and enables Thatcher to identify the killer, the one person Thatcher least suspected.
