Lawyer Margrit Knight is one of the few humans aware of New York City's otherworldy denizens; known as the Negotiator among the Old Races who dwell behind the scenes, she calls upon her allies, a fallen dragon and her vampire employer, when her gargoyle lover is kidnapped and placed on trial by his "peers." While wrapping up many loose ends, the concluding volume of Murphy's Negotiator trilogy (_Heart of Stone; House of Cards_) leaves open the possibility of future explorations into an urban fantasy that brings some unusual creatures, such as gargoyles, djinn, and selkies, into the modern world. Margrit is a gutsy, resourceful heroine who can walk a fine line between the paranormal and the real world. A good choice for most libraries, with particular appeal to fans of Charles de Lint and Jim Butcher.

African American Hispanic Legal Aid lawyer Margrit Knight, who discovered the existence of the Old Races in Heart of Stone (2007), has been changed by love for the gargoyle Alban and being saved from death by vampire blood. Now Alban, self-exiled from his people to protect a secret, is bound for criminal court, and the strict Old Races trial procedures will open his memories to the tribunal. Margrit fearlessly throws herself into situation after peril-filled situation to avert war among Old Races factions and iron things out with the dragon Janx and her new boss, vampire Eliseo Daisani. The Negotiator trilogy wraps up nicely. --Diana Tixier Herald
