Small Fry Pick of the Week: A Riddle in Ruby

A Riddle in Ruby by Kent Davis

Well, a thief in training. And a pirate's daughter.  A smuggler.  A picklock.  In a world ruled by alchemists who mix magic and science, Ruby has always relied on nothing more mysterious than her skill and her sneakiness.  Swindling and stealing are straightforward.

At least they are supposed to be, until she bungles the robbery of a young aristocratic lord.  Now Ruby's father has been captured, and she must flee deep into the heart of a city filled with characters both honorable and nefarious.  The Royal Navy and the leaders of a notorious secret society are hot on her heels.

Because Ruby has a secret.  One even she doesn't know.  The world is filled those who would help her, and thos who would use her to their own dark ends.  Can Ruby trust anyone?  Can she even trust herself?
