It's hard to be a human detective in a world where magic reigns, even with a highly-knowledgeable Dead Man for a partner.
Like many humans, Garrett had served his time fighting in the Cantard alongside elves, dwarves, trolls, and assorted unnatural beings. After five years, he'd come home to the slums of TunFaire and hung out his shingle as a private investigator. Even as far from the dwellings of the rich and sorcerous as he was, he soon found himself involved in the kind of cases no sane man would take for any amount of money... downright peculiar situations that a hardboiled character like him just couldn't seem to avoid.
Fortunately, Garrett did have a few worthy allies to help when it came to tackling the haunts of wizards or werewolves, of vampires or vengeful gods - allies like the Dead Man, one of the rare Loghyr race, whose body had stopped moving when he died four hundred years ago but whose active mind was filled with all kinds of good advice... and Morley Dotes, a half-darkelf who had a knack for knowing where all the bodies were, and when to dig them up.
Now, join Garrett and his associates as they relive some of their weirdest and wildest cases:
Sweet Silver Blues. The trouble starts when the family of an old war buddy turns up on Garrett's doorstep to tell him his pal is dead. It's up to the resourceful investigator to find him his late friend's mysterious heir, a beautiful woman last seen in the war-torn lands of the Cantard, where crime is rife, punishment nonexistent, and magic usually malign...
Bitter Gold Hearts. The Stormwarden's heir is kidnapped while she's away, and Garrett must rescue him before his merciless, magic-wielding mom finds out. But even the aid of elvish friends may not be enough to keep the private eye's head on his shoulders when he comes up against a host of ogres and assassins - and some of the most menancing masters of magic ever to seize power in this perilously enchanted land!
Cold Copper Tears. Sometimes just keeping the mice off the Dead Man isn't enough to earn his advice, and if Garrett has ever needed the Loghyr's help, he needs it now. For there's a new religious cult in town - worshippers of a godlike Destroyer. And these devout folks seem to think Garrett would make a perfect sacrifice!
