An Import of Intrigue by Marshall Ryan Maresca
Another serviceable installment in the series. The mystery at the heart of the book isn't very good but the world building and characterizations are. Lots of distinct voices and cultures. Sartine continues to get better at her job and more of her backstory is given. Minox continues to deal with the fact that he is an untrained magician and the magic is taking him over.
There is a murder in the migrant quarter which could cause the whole quarter to explode. There are basically five different nationalities involved and anyone one of them could be the murderer. Plus, Sartine spots an old enemy in one of the quarters.
Lots of riots and fighting. No sword fights.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
