The Gypsy is a 1992 urban fantasy novel written by Megan Lindholm and Steven Brust.[1][2] It blends elements of Hungarian folk tales with a modern-day detective story. The book contains many lyrics to songs that were later recorded by Minnesota Celtic-punk band Boiled in Lead for their album Songs from The Gypsy.
