Beka gets her wish. She s assigned to work with Mattes and Clary, famed veterans among the Provost s Dogs, and they don t know that Beka has something unique to offer. Beka is a good listener. So good, in fact, that she hears things that Mattes and Clary never could information that is passed in murmurs when flocks of pigeons gather…
murmurs that are the words of the dead. And the ranks of the dead will be growing if the Dogs can t stop a crime wave the likes of which has never been seen. Luckily for the people of the Lower City, the new puppy is a true Terrier!

The Dogs discover that the counterfeit money seems to originate in Port Caynn. So Beka heads upriver to investigate, traveling with her mentor, Goodwin; Achoo, a hound whose nose is as sharp as her claws; and the pigeon Slapper, who carries the voices of the dead. In Port Caynn, Beka delves deep into the gambling world, where she meets a charming banking clerk named Dale Rowan. Beka thinks she may be falling for Rowan, but she won’t let anything or anyone jeopardize her mission. From the Silversmith’s Guild to the Provost’s House to the city sewers, it won’t be enough for Beka to be her usual Terrier self. She’ll have to learn from Achoo how to sniff out the criminals to be a Bloodhound
