Terrier
by Tamora Pierce (Author)
Beka Cooper is a rookie with the law-enforcing Provost's Guard in the capital city of Tortall. To the surprise of everyone, Beka requests duty in the Lower City - a tough beat but Beka’s birthplace so she's comfortable there. She's assigned to work with Mattes and Clary, famed veterans among the Provost's Dogs, and they're none too happy about it. However, Beka has something unique to offer: she can hear the words of the dead. In this way, Beka learns of someone in the Lower City who has overturned the power structure of the underworld and is terrorising its citizens into submission and silence. Beka's magical listening talent is the only way for the Provost's Dogs to find out the identity of this brutal new underlord, for the dead are beyond fear. And the ranks of the dead will be growing if the Dogs can't stop a crime wave the likes of which has never been seen.
