Saving Face:
A Winston and Ruby Story

Kristine Kathryn Rusch

A beautiful but scared woman tries to hire Winston Karpathian, but for what, he has no idea. Winston has a small magic, nothing spectacular, and certainly nothing that can help a woman like that. He asks what she wants. Instead of answering, she flees his little magic shop—and shortly thereafter ends up dead.

Now Winston must work with a detective who doesn’t believe in magic to find the woman’s killer. And Winston must work alone to find out what kind of spell the woman wanted him to cast. Because Winston believes that the woman’s request has more to do with her death than the weapon that killed her.
