The Thief on the Winged Horse
A dazzling mixture of crime, romance, magic and myth from the author of the bestselling The Psychology of Time Travel.

But then, one night, the firm's most valuable doll is stolen. Only someone with knowledge of magic could have taken her. Only a Kendrick could have committed this crime...
