“A compelling book that I read in a single sitting and highly recommend.” —Garth Nix Being an Inquisitor is no job for a nice Jewish boy. But when the police learn that thirteen-year-old Sacha Kessler can see witches, he’s apprenticed to the NYPD. Their mission? To stop magical crime. And New York at the turn of the twentieth century is full of it. Sacha’s first case is to find out who’s trying to kill Thomas Edison, inventor of a witch detector that could unleash the worst witch-hunt in American history. Every magician in town has a motive, but all the clues lead back to the Lower East Side, and Sacha’s own family could be accused!
