Beka Cooper series.
Beka Cooper (Terrier) is making her mark as a Dog, a member of the nation's police force. While investigating the provenance of some counterfeit coins, she faces a new enemy in Pearl Skinner, the Rogue of Port Caynn. Juggling an extensive but vivid cast of characters, Pierce brings to life a squalid, colorful world brimming with magic, misdeeds, and ordinary folk.

Beka Cooper series.
Sword-and-sorcery meets police procedural. Set some two hundred or so years before the Song of the Lioness Quartet, this new series introduces readers to sixteen-year-old Beka Cooper, a Puppy (trainee) in Corus's Guard who narrates her story via a diary. Perhaps the book's greatest strength is its raw portrayal of the fine line between law and lawlessness.
