Hollow Iron Wharves: A Jericho Sand Novel

By L. Charles Silva

The harbor at Calgrave runs on bindings. Wharf-witches set them, captains and merchants live by them, and for as long as anyone can remember they have held.

This past several weeks, they have not been holding.

Jericho Sand and his partner Piper take cases when normal channels won't do, won't be fast enough, or would require admitting things in writing. The case Tobias Beck brings them on a Thursday morning sounds, at first, like ordinary consortium pressure on a son's small chandlery.

By the second day it is something else.

Within a week the case touches a Heights house with seven friends behind it, a consortium that does not, on close inspection, look quite like a consortium, a fire Hollis Beck did not set, a wharf-witch on Coney Wharf with a particularly stubborn goat - and a name that has not yet been said out loud.

It was, on the morning Sand took it, a goat job.

He had not, on the morning he took it, expected how much goat.

Hollow Iron Wharves is the second novel in Problems of an Unusual Nature, an ongoing series of comic action-fantasy mysteries.
