Sweet Silver Blues (Garrett, P. I. Series #1)

by Glen Cook

Overview

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.

Garrett P.I. fans will welcome the reissue of this fantasy noir starring the gritty detective. In Sweet Silver Blues, Garrett is up to his ears in gnomes, vampires, centaurs, and at least one renegade half elf. A hard-boiled tale for readers with a taste for the supernatural.

Private investigator Garrett, hero of the Cantard Wars, reluctantly agrees to return to the perilous Cantard mining country in search of a missing heiress. His companions include a renegade half-elf, a trio of frog-like ``grolls,'' and two sharp-tongued women with their own interest in the quest's successor failure. Cook's laconic style brings a dose of gritty realism to the fantasy genre. This latest adventure by the author of ``The Black Company'' trilogy is recommended. JC
