Soon she’s investigating the counterfeits in the nearby city of Port Caynn, befriending gamblers and making enemies of both magistrates and criminals.

Her latest adventure starts slowly, with creeping worry about the large number of counterfeit silver coins she’s seen. Beka’s uncompromising morality will never make her popular, but it nets her a high class of friends-and gains her a new scent-hound (endearingly named Achoo), rescued from a brutal former master.

In this second volume in Pierce’s historical Tortall trilogy, Beka Cooper is now a junior Dog (police officer) in the Corus slums.
