"'The Assassin's Dagger' by Kristine Katherine Rusch is most entertaining; the tale of a corporate trouble-shooter who enforces a helpful-magic-only company policy by closing down evil magic shops that are purchased in hostile takeovers. The magic here is supernatural, and it sets modern fantasy on its head by casting the corporate machine as the force for good, rooting out small business owners who cater to a steady clientele of black magic users. "--Italics
Assassins Dagger. The Dagger of Hassan ibn-al-Sabbah. A fidayeen dagger. Talia pressed her stylus against the screen of her Palm Pilot and squinted at the tiny type. This was no way to do research.
She leaned her head back against the train's plush seat and rubbed the bridge of her nose with her thumb and forefinger. The man across from her was staring at the French countryside as if he had never seen fields filled with cows and centuries-old barns before. Next to him, a petite woman read a book about the Resistance. And on Talia's left, a man concentrated on Le Monde as if he were going to be tested on its contents. No one watched her, but she kept her PDA turned toward the window anyway. After the mess in Penzance, where she'd had to close the Cornish Magick Shoppe pending further inquiry, she didn't want any more trouble. Besides, the wounds on her arm were finally beginning to heal. She sighed and wished she could call Marc-Alain Chartier from the train. But the questions she had to ask weren't questions mundanes should hear. Chartier had awakened her that morning, and she hadn't thought to ask him then. "We have trouble," he said after identifying himself as the manager of Le Petit Château. "Someone has returned a dagger."
