About this listen

The Scissors and the Sword is the first in a new urban fantasy series, in which Jessica Cartwright, a Scene of Crime Officer, confronts creatures of Japanese myth unleashed upon modern-day London.

When blood-soaked scissors are the only clues recovered from a double-murder-scene in Hyde Park, Scene of Crime Officer Jessica Cartwright races against time to understand the evidence before the killer strikes again.

But when a sword on display at the British Museum spontaneously shatters, she is confronted with an unthinkable truth: A man from another era has a score to settle with an ancient enemy, in a clash that threatens every soul in London!

As the fate of the city hangs in the balance, can Jessica overcome a spectre of her own past in her search for answers?

Who would kill with scissors?

And who could wield a shattered sword

The Scissors and the Sword is the beginning of the World of Orochi series of urban fantasy novels by Ethan Fox!
