Bolg, PI: Wolfy Ladies

By Dave Freer

A humorous, satirical noir detective urban fantasy, set in a small city in flyover country, which has an unusually high population of Trolls, werewolves, fairies and a dwarf.

Private Investigator Bolg, a Pictish gentleman who happens to be vertically challenging, a self-proclaimed dwarf and tattooed so heavily he appears blue, finds himself called on undertake paranormal cases: in this case finding the missing mage who supplies the potion that helps werewolves retain their human shape at full moon, for a lady-wolf who finds the change interferes with her love life.

The ancient Celtic wizard he's trying to trace is a friend, and shape shifter, and there far more going on than just a search for a missing person.

Yes. A werewolf in an advertising agency... That’s me, Scarlett said, crossing her long slim legs. She was wearing a skirt. Or at least quite a broad belt. The top was low-cut enough for most men not to notice the choker she wore. A beautiful piece -- Irish at a guess, a golden eagle in flight, each feather perfect, with ruby-chip eyes. The rubies matched her lipstick. I was told you were quite used to that sort of thing.

A very appropriate profession, I would say, I said calmly. I was a little low on silver bullets right now. Actually, I was low on silver of any sort, being down to copper, which is why I had taken on this job. I’m a private investigator. Nature dealt my genes a couple of odd hands. I’m a dwarf. Not the beard-axe-and-gold-obsession kind from fantasy, but the kind with achondroplasia. It meant that I investigated all the weird to paranormal cases. There are a lot more of them than you’d think. It’s bias, but then I have my own biases. I don’t like working for women
