The White City / Elizabeth Bear

The White City by Elizabeth Bear. 189 p.

A sequel to New Amsterdam, featuring the great detective Sebastien de Ulloa, his companion the forensic sorcerer Abigail Irene Garrett, and their friend Phoebe Smith, visiting the titular city of Moscow. Actually there are two stories, set 6 years apart; in the earlier one, Sebastien visited Moscow with Jack as his companion. In both of them, he investigates a murder that involves a local artist. I really enjoy Bear's stories about these characters, and so I would recommend that you read New Amsterdam before reading this one, because it will give you a different perpective on the characters--especially Jack.
