Publisher's Synopsis
"From the author of the #1 Kindle Bestselling Detective Strongoak and the Case of the Dead Elf the new Detective Strongoak adventure. You never hear much about Dwarf women, do you? Thats because they are trouble. Real trouble. When Master Detective Nicely Strongoak first encounters the drop-dead gorgeous dwarfess Diamond, a fully paid up member of the Citadel Guild of Amorous Dancers and Associated Divesters, he should have known better than to leave his business card. Especially when subsequent business turns out to involve murder and the man reputed to be the Citadels Dark Crime Lord. He certainly shouldnt have gone to help Diamond beat a murder rap. Not when it involved heading back to the old Dwarf Kingdom of Skragsrealm, and the memories of a much younger Nicely and his encounter with the Nine Idlers a group of men, elves, gnomes, dwarves and even a Warrior Princess. Oh, and the one brutal killing he had never managed to solve. Yet his alliance with the strangely attractive gobliness Detective Analyst Grundrund leads Nicely on a trail full of enchanters and lost love that might solve not just one, but three murders. Thats if the rewilded wolves and mud dragons dont get him first."
