The day Sacha found out he could see witches was the worst day of his life . . .
Being an Inquisitor is no job for a nice Jewish boy. But when the police learn that Sacha Kessler can see witches, he's apprenticed to the department's star Inquisitor, Maximillian Wolf. Their mission is to stop magical crime. And New York at the beginning of the twentieth century is a magical melting pot where each ethnic group has its own brand of homegrown witchcraft, and magical gangs rule the streets from Hell's Kitchen to Chinatown.
Soon Sacha has teamed up with fellow apprentice Lily Astral, daughter of one of the city's richest Wall Street Wizards--and a spoiled snob, if you ask Sacha. Their first case is to find out who's trying to kill Thomas Edison.
Edison has invented a mechanical witch detector that could unleash the worst witch-hunt in American history. Every magician in town has a motive to kill him. But as the investigation unfolds, all the clues lead back to the Lower East Side. And Sacha soon realizes that his own family could be accused of murder!
- Mystery to Solve: Sacha's first case is a big one: someone is trying to murder Thomas Edison before his mechanical witch detector can change the world forever.
- Urban Fantasy Adventure: Explore a magical version of early 20th-century New York, where magical gangs rule the streets and Wall Street Wizards clash with Lower East Side witchcraft.
- Unlikely Friendship: To crack the case, Sacha must partner with the snobby Lily Astral, the daughter of a powerful magical family who is everything he's not.
- Jewish Folklore: Packed with rich details from Jewish history and folklore, as Sacha discovers his unique magical heritage could be the very thing that puts his family in danger.
