The Conjuror's Bird
Martin Davies
Formats & Editions
It seems a long time ago that Fitz and Gabby were together, with his work on extinct species about to make him world-famous. Now, it s his career that is almost extinct.
Suddenly, though, the beautiful Gabby reappears in his life. She wants his help in tracing the history of The Mysterious Bird of Ulieta, a creature once owned by the great 18th Century naturalist Joseph Banks.
It soon becomes clear that Fitz is getting involved in something more complicated and dangerous than the search for a stuffed bird.
To solve the puzzle, he must uncover the identity of the amazing woman Banks loved a woman who has disappeared from history as effectively as the specimen he is hunting.
A mixture of detection, romance and history, THE CONJUROR'S BIRD has all the makings of a word-of-mouth bestseller.
