Summary: Beka Cooper is a rookie with the law-enforcing Provost's Guard, and she's been assigned to the Lower City. It's a tough beat that's about to get tougher, as Beka's limited ability to communicate with the dead clues her in to an underworld conspiracy. Someone close to Beka is using dark magic to profit from the Lower City's criminal enterprises--and the result is a crime wave the likes of which the Provost's Guard has never seen before.

Review: Tamora Pierce is one of my favourite authors, so I'm always eager to read her books, especially the ones set in Tortall. Terrier did not disappoint :) It was a bit different from the others in style in that it was written as a diary and concerned some of the grittier aspects of city life than we got to know through Alanna, Diane and Kel. Alanna is still my favourite, but I think this one runs a close second.
