Since losing his knighthood, Crispin Guest has earned his
reputation as the Tracker, a private investigator who can locate
everything, and everyone he is hired to find. When famed French
alchemist Nicholas Flamel enlists him to locate both his missing
wife Perenelle and his apprentice, Guest is confident that it will
be a case quickly resolved. But after Flamel's apprentice is found
dead and a ransom note arrives threatening the life of Perenelle in
exchange for the Philosopher's Stone, a magical object that can
change lead into gold, Guest quickly discovers that there is
nothing ordinary about this case. Soon, strange, antiquated symbols
begin appearing throughout the city and he learns he must decipher
their hidden code to unearth the truth of secrets long buried.
Plunged into the dark, underground magic of alchemy and the
treacherous world of English politics, Guest and his dedicated
servant Jack, will have to unravel the mystery in order to find
Perenelle and reveal the dangerous mastermind determined to wreak
havoc throughout the city. Shadow of the Alchemist is the
intriguing sixth book in the Crispin Guest series. It was featured
as a "Best of 2013 Selection" by Suspense Magazine and was a
finalist for Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award in the Mystery
Suspense & Thriller category.
