Two Thrilling Mysteries In One Volume!

It's Almost Too Late To Fix Ibram's Mistake...

How Do You Break A Curse When It's No More Than They Deserve?

Ibram Ucalegon is a private investigator in the strictest sense of the term. He only has one client: Lady Azadiya Hobon, the intelligent, poised, and beautiful alchemist who oversees the daily struggles of life in the alchemical village of Lityen, and he investigates whatever she tells him to. In a village crammed with foreign deities, potion pushers, and folk who can see through a man's skin straight to his bones, Ibram's the thoroughly mundane answer to every murky question. Together with his childhood friend, Ahksell Solari, alchemist and movable mountain, they tidy up the dark corners and murderous disputes of Lityen's population amidst the never-ending upheaval of merchants, adventurers, and displaced nobility seeking their fortunes.

In The Gilty Party: Ibram thought he knew everything he needed to know about the death of Harken Tolk, but when the man who found him disappears before the inquest, Lady Azadiya has no choice but to reopen the investigation. Did Ibram sign off on a natural death, when the verdict should have been murder? Or is Rustam Monbrith hiding some other secret?

In Cursebird On A Wire: Following a short period of unfortunate incarceration, Ibram buys his freedom by promising his jailer an introduction to Lady Azadiya. But on the day of the introductory gala, a cursebird flies in the face of everybody's plans. Can Lady Azadiya discover the culprit and save the party before Ibram trades in his smooth sailing for another hard landing?

The Alchemist's Agent Omnibus 1 is a collection of two books in E.M. Burnham's standalone fantastical mystery series: The Alchemist's Agent. The books included are: The Gilty Party, the first book in the series, and Cursebird On A Wire, a prequel novella.
