Shadow Alley is a compilation of short crime stories written around the premise of detectives when they were teenagers.

Life in the city of Quentaris is never dull. The city's two feuding families, the Blues and the Greens, have just held a battle in the market. There has been a duel between wizards and a burglary at the Villains' Guild. And the chief Soothsayer has just prophesied another disaster. "I see a disc of changing colours, passing from hand to hand. I see murder, misery and mayhem. I see the disc destroying everyone who touches it." Suggested level: intermediate, junior secondary.
