About this eBook

It should have been a simple job. But for Garrett, a human detective in a world of gnomes, tracking down the woman to whom his dead pal Danny left a fortune in silver is no slight task. Even with the aid of Morley, the toughest half-elf around, Garrett isn't sure he'll make it out alive from a land where magic can be murder, the dead still talk, and vampires are always hungry for human blood.

Ratings and reviews

Rockford files meets D&D.. enjoyable world, enjoyable characters.. battered hero survives as a average guy in a world filled with magic.. trying to make a living while doing the right thing

I have always had a soft spot for good yarn by Glen Cook, and Garrett is as good as he delivers. Humour, adventure, twists, the whole ten yards.

An amazing start to what is now my favorite series.
