Notes
Beka Cooper is a trainee Dog in the Lower City. It's a tough beat, but it's where she was born. Shy Beka's talent is listening to the ghosts that pigeons carry, the cries of the unhappy dead. When she hears of a brutal underlord committing crimes against the children of her city, it 's up to her and her Dogs to see justice done.
