Sand Dunes and Skyscrapers (Leisurely Ländler, #5.5)

Delia Simpson

Life as a tram conductor had never been better, had it, Sherwin?

You knew where you were going. You followed the tracks from the patchwork metal walls through the web of the wooden skyscrapers in the City. You collected tickets you sold throughout the day and stuck them up on your bedroom wall. After a hard day’s work, Sigal, whom you loved very much, baked you chocolate-coated rum-buns. You remember Sigal, don’t you, Sherwin?

And then, one day, you witnessed the launch of an incredible flying ship, and you found yourself derailed. The Šéf, the head of the City’s police, tasked you and ex-fighter Lucky Buster with tracking down a gang of dangerous fugitives and solving the mystery of the blue-haired girl. He gave you a mansion, access to terrifying bounty hunters, and Lennox, the timid City Artificer. Are you sure you weren’t blinded by the gifts the Šéf bestowed upon you? Were these fugitives really that fearsome, or did you have your own hidden agenda?

Being fired was the best thing that ever happened to you... wasn’t it, Sherwin?
