An eviction. A stolen object. A hidden network. Will retrieving her precious gemstone get Tricky killed?

Sometimes it pays to be Tricky

Damn and blast! That rancid piece of excrement, Carter, has had her ransacked out of Clancy!

Tricky returns to her cottage to find it turned upside down. An action that means she has three days to leave or face punishment. Randolf Carter, head of the district, is spreading lies and suspicion about her kind, making life difficult. But it wasn't just an ordinary ransacking - they were searching for something.

Using her gifts, Tricky traces the energy left by the men and spies another creature's among it: a jackdaw. Swift and wily, it's pinched her precious gemstone, a piece of black obsidian. But at whose bidding? Communicating with birds is a rare ability and she knows all who possess it.

Tricky wants her stone back, but coming up against Carter and his corrupt network won't be easy, especially when he's got one of her kind in his employ. But she'll handle it, oh yes she will. She'll just have to be careful and a little bit tricky. Good thing she is then, isn't it?

Tricky is lured into something bigger than ownership of a gemstone, unearthing her mother's murderers and putting her own life at risk. To survive she's going to have to remember that sometimes it pays to be a little bit tricky.

Dead Lake is the first book in a new thrilling paranormal fantasy series, set a few hundred years from now in a post-apocalyptic world. For fans of new-age witches, strong female characters and dark dealings in a dystopian world, Tricky's high-pace adventures will capture the imagination.
