Everything is mixed up in the world Garrett lives in. Goblins and trolls live alongside dwarves and people, and a fire-breathing dragon in the sky is as ordinary an occurrence as an airplane over European cities. In this strange world there is no firearms, so private detective Garrett has to rely more on physical force and magic. And he also has a good assistant—a living dead man who rises from dust when needed and is sent back to rest when the next mystery is solved. Mysteries here are never in short supply, and they all involve risk, so Garrett has to walk the blade’s edge every single day.
