Power's Play

Malfred Murd has risen in the world: he's now the Whellen Country's newest nobleman- and that's not all. When the Grand Constable of the Brewel Country needs help taking down the capital's biggest crime boss, Fred jumps- no, make that handsprings- at the opportunity to become an undervover officer... not least because he thinks it might impress the ardent, artistic lady of his dreams. But will the crooks he's after catch him in a custom-crafted trap?

Follow Fred, Corvinalias, the other characters we met in "Fool's Proof" and a dazzling collection of new ones on a journey through a world blending equal parts comedy, crime novel and adventure: heroic, horrific and hilarious.
