Who or what was her father? Susan, Merlin, and Vivien must find out, as the Old World erupts dangerously into the New.

Merlin has a quest of his own: to find the Old World entity who used ordinary criminals to kill his mother. Left-Handed Booksellers of London (2 book series) Kindle Edition by Garth Nix (Author) Kindle Hardcover Paperback Mass Market Paperback A girl’s quest to find her father leads her to an extended family of magical fighting booksellers who police the mythical Old World of England when it intrudes on the modern world. Susan's search for her father begins with her mother's possibly misremembered or misspelled surnames, a reading-room ticket, and a silver cigarette case engraved with something that might be a coat of arms. With the right-handed booksellers (the intellectual ones), he belongs to an extended family of magical beings who police the mythic and legendary Old World when it intrudes on the modern world - in addition to running several bookshops. Merlin is a young left-handed bookseller (one of the fighting ones). Crime boss Frank Thringley might be able to help her, but Susan doesn't get time to ask Frank any questions before he is turned to dust by the prick of a silver hatpin in the hands of the outrageously attractive Merlin.
