In this summer edition the opening story by Swanwick was a delight. Set in England around World War I in a reality that knows wizards, werewolves, time travel and military intelligence; on a dark and stormy night there is a murder.
Acting Director of British Intelligence Ritter is summoned in the middle of the night to investigate the murder of Sir Toby.
This is one of the latest instalments of his Mongolian Wizard series. If you like this one there are many more to be had.
I rather liked this one even though I am not a big fan of magical stories because it barely relied on mystical tropes.
A good opening story to this collection.
