The Society of Unknowable Objects
by Gareth Brown - Fantasy, Fiction, Suspense, Thriller

The world of unknowable objects --- magical items that most people have no idea possess powers --- has been quiet for decades. But when Frank Simpson, the longest-standing member of the Society of Unknowable Objects, hears of a new artifact coming to light in Hong Kong, he sends Magda Sparks --- author by day and newest member --- to investigate. Within hours of arriving in Hong Kong, Magda is confronted by a professional killer who seems to know all about unknowable objects. Returning to London, Magda learns hers is not the only secret being kept from the other two members. Her discoveries will lead her on a perilous journey, across the Atlantic to the deep south of the United States, now in pursuit of not an unknowable object, but an unknowable person: the professional killer she first faced in Hong Kong.
