Powers of Detection: Stories of Mystery & Fantasy
Powers of Detection: Stories of Mystery & Fantasy

Mystical whodunits by renowned fantasy authors.

If you're keen on both intrigue and the supernatural, "Powers of Detection" delivers a unique fusion that will keep you guessing while immersing you in fantastical realms. The blend of genres offered by such a diverse group of acclaimed writers offers both the satisfaction of mystery-solving and the wonder of magical storytelling. It's a hybrid read that satisfies the craving for two genres at once.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
