Publisher's Synopsis
The small village of Untheim has a big problem. Folk go missing with alarming frequency. Even more alarming? They turn up dead. And a young girl's just disappeared.
Sir Luther Slythe Krait also has a big problem. He's stuck in Untheim. Penniless and poor and on his last legs, Sir Luther shoulders the task of tracking down the missing girl. The good news? He finds her. The bad? She's heading home in a box.
And that's just the start.
Bound by oath to hunt down the girl's killer, Sir Luther treks through town and wilderness, hounding the populace, ferreting leads, and drawing back the shroud of a decades-old secret privy to a select few. It's a dark secret, and those few want it kept that way.
Will Sir Luther find the killer? Will he exact justice? An eye for an eye? A head for a head? Or will the head lost be his own?
