The Improvisers is the tale of Velma, a barnstorming pilot and former magic bootlegger, who pursues dangerous enchanted items and a mystery that crosses the US and cuts through timeright to the heart of her familys past and present.Velma Frye is many things. A pilot, a former bootlegger, a wellseasoned traveler, a jazz pianistand a wielder of celestial magic. Shes also a member of the mystical Rhodes family as well as an investigator for arcane oddities for a magic rights organization, dealing with both simple and complicated cases. And when a pocket watch instigates a magical brawl after one of her flight shows, things become very complicated. In 1930s America, enchanted items are highly valuable, especially in the waning days of the magical Prohibition. As Velma digs deeper, she discovers the watch is part of a collection of dangerous artifacts manipulating people across the countryand in some cases, leading to their deaths. Something about all this is tickling Velmas memories, and the more she discovers, the more these seemingly isolated incidents feel as if theyre building to something apocalyptic.Connecting the dots isnt easy, though, and further complicating her work is journalist Dillon Harris. He hounds her steps, and while not actively sabotaging her investigation, he also clearly knows more than he lets...
