Multiple award-winning author Michael Buckley's New York Times best-selling Sisters Grimm series is phenomenally popular.

Someone’s sending him a particular message by sending him severed limbs. And then there’s the hitmen coming after him. Last but not least, he’s got to broker a deal between the biggest elven street gang in Seattle and a vicious Triad gang—and not get himself killed in the bargain.
