Ruler of Scoundrels: The Chronicles of a Cutpurse Book 2 by Carrie Summers

Master Thief, Myrrh, finds that it is much easier to take down a crime syndicate that to hold onto in. Her past enemies, the Slivers do not wish to fade away but put pressure on Myrrh’s new fledge crime organization, the Ghost syndicate in an attempt to regain their dominance of Rat Town.

To further complicate the situation, thieves are being found dead with no sign of what or who killed them. Without all the pieces of the puzzle, any misstep could be a fatal one and Myrrh must decide whether to trust a stranger with special skills to help save her people.

The author keeps us memorized with this dark, fantastic world of danger and intrigue. The story is fast paced and the pages fly as fast as a thrown dagger. Ms. Summers has a winner in this series.
