Merlin is a young left-handed bookseller (one of the fighting ones), who with the right-handed booksellers (the intellectual ones), are an extended family of magical beings who police the mythic and legendary Old World when it intrudes on the modern world, in addition to running several bookshops.
Susan believes she’s finally found help in crime boss Frank Thringley - but before she has the chance to ask Frank any questions, he is turned to dust by the prick of a silver hatpin in the hands of the outrageously attractive Merlin.
Her search begins with her mother’s possibly misremembered or misspelt surnames, a reading room ticket, and a silver cigarette case engraved with something that might be a coat of arms. In a slightly alternate London in 1983, Susan Arkshaw embarks on a quest to look for her father, a man she has never met. In a realm where two worlds (“Old” England and “New” England) mystically collide, a young girl discovers her true lineage - and with that, her true power. Penguin Random House is excited to present the official audiobook version of The Left-Handed Booksellers of London, from bestselling master of teen fantasy Garth Nix.
