'''''The King of the Spoil''''' is a [[Warhammer Crime]] novel by [[Jonathan D. Beer]].

==Cover description{{Fn|1}}==
Within the vast sprawl of [[Varangantua]] lies the Spoil. It is a broken crossroads, forsaken by the Lex, abandoned by the city’s uncaring masters, where the only choice is a slow death in the manufactories, or a quick one on the street. And it is in turmoil.

[[Andreti Sorokin]], the gangster king whose vicious rule brought order to the Spoil, is dead, slain in the most brutal fashion. [[Melita Voronova]], skilled info-broker and reluctant agent of the imperious [[Valtteri cartel]], is tasked with uncovering the mystery of who killed Sorokin, and preventing his fragile alliance of thugs and narco-pushers from collapsing into chaos. As street-blades clash and gang leaders turn against one another, Melita’s instincts tell her there is a larger conspiracy at work. Someone has created this crisis not merely to disrupt the Spoil, but to overturn the foundations of Varangantua itself.
