Gabe pokes into some dark corners. And Jordan gets an unexpected offer.

The intricate shadow play of spycraft and witchcraft continues in the latest thrilling installment of The Witch Who Came in from the Cold. As the mystic hitchhiker Gabe unwittingly picked up in Cairo continues to make its presence felt in splitting headaches, Gabe decides to do a little digging of his own. But his interest in the missing Andula has not gone unremarked by agents of the Flame and the KGB . . . to say nothing of Tanya herself, who is determined to warn off this brash young American with a talent for dabbling in matters that don't concern him.

In this episode, brought to you by Lindsay Smith, the Cold War turns into a deep freeze.

"The Witch Who Came in from the Cold is a chilly evocation of a different kind of Cold War" –Charles Stross, author of the Laundry Files series

"The diabolical secret weapon of serialized storytelling is that each bit just whets your appetite for more. When can I have the next one?" –Marie Brennan, author of A Natural History of Dragons and the Memoirs of Lady Trent

“Take a double shot of Le Carré, a dash of Deighton, a twist of Quiller, a splash of Al Stewart’s “The Year of the Cat,” throw in a jigger full of elemental magic, mix well ... and voilà! The Witch Who Came In From The Cold.” –Victor Milán, author of The Dinosaur Lords

Location: Prague. Time: 1970. Two things this city was lousy with: spies and witches. “As soon as I saw that, I was instantly hooked, and the pilot jacked the intrigue to the max. Two female Soviet spy witches, an American spy with something weird drilling magical holes in his head, and a world of secrets within secrets in a locale where old-world myth and the Cold War face off, pedal to the metal . . . it’s awesome. Or as we said in 1970, Far out.” –Sherwood Smith, author Crown Duel
