About this ebook

Master Detective Nicely Strongoak is in need of a furlough, but when the Elfin Chief Executive of the Citadel High Council – Evermore Truelight, a.k.a. the ‘King of Elfland’ – calls, you answer. So Nicely drives his ’57 Dragonette steam wagon to the exclusive elf enclave known as Tall Trees, where Widergard’s best-dressed dwarf detective finds a whole new world of trouble.

Mixed race steamy ‘adult’ pictures, apparently featuring Truelove’s sister, lead to Milkwood and the glamorous world of rolling pictures, while Nicely’s current case, involving ‘celebrity dwarf’ councillor Getgold Grounding’s housekeeper’s missing daughter leads to a sorcerous beauty parlour, a bodiless head and an Elf with No Name.

The last thing Nicely need, especially with a date with gorgeous half-elf actress Elsira looming, is an enforced trip to the sun, but that’s what he gets. A fairy with a broken wing, Goblin people traffickers and the biggest Dragon’s Eye diamond ever, all combine to produce a case for Nicely that goes to the heart of what family is about in a multi-racial society that includes amorous dwarves and immortal elves.

The new Detective Strongoak adventure from the author of the #1 Kindle Bestselling Detective Strongoak and the Case of the Dead Elf.
