Chiamaka, Vigilate of the Night Watch, has a corpse on her hands. Her suspects include the victim's wife, his lawyer, and perhaps even the man he robbed shortly before his death. Then there's also the bookseller who found the corpse, who has an intense interest in the whole matter. Suspicious, or mere curiosity? It's not like she needs amateurs hanging around!

Suspects for the theft abound, but what possible motive was there for murder? She invited Nikiruka along on a whim, but her substitute Custos might be a better choice than she realised.

Nikiruka has been called on to assist the Watch once again, but not by Chiamaka this time. The Vigilate has been arrested on suspicion of murder, with a clear motive and no alibi. The Watch is short-staffed, so Custos Vendish, keen to clear his vigilate's name, has come in search of the bookseller who helped Chiamaka before. Nikiruka will have to take on this job alone...

Mercer Manash has been murdered, and the most obvious suspect has come straight to Nikiruka for help! That means, of course, that Chiamaka will have to deal with it, although it ought to be the Day Watch's job. Finding out who else could have done it - apart from the hapless Tayidh - is going to be hard. Luckily she has Nikiruka along to help, and two heads really ought to be better than one.

Nikiruka is finding being associated with the Vigiles is a mixed blessing. This time it has led to an actual commission, to clear his client's name of an accusation of murder six months old. Chiamaka has her own perspective on the case, but as they follow up the leads they begin to question not only who is responsible for the murder, but whether a murder was committed at all...
