A Dangerous Magic
Fifteen-year-old Frank Sampson has a hard time following the rules. He’s smart-mouthed and not so good with people. He also happens to be a highly gifted forensic sorcerer. So when the Bishop of Oxford is beheaded, Frank is called in to help solve the case. The mystery of the bishop’s murder becomes even more complicated when Frank’s magic shows him the missing head doesn’t actually belong to the headless corpse. To crack the case, he’ll need to use unorthodox methods, no matter the consequences.
