    The Housetrap Chronicles Series

    By R. J. Hore

    About this series

    Private Eyeball, Randy Aloysius, agrees to accompany an elderly elf and her attractive niece on a relaxing train trip across the continent to the wet coast. They seem harmless enough, so what could go wrong?

     

    Well, there's the obvious murder of a bent politician, throw in a card-playing vampire, a brownie public relations hack, and a grieving widow murder suspect, not to mention other assorted suspicious characters, and someone out of Randy's past he'd rather not see again.

     

    Then there is the train itself, which may be in serious need of life support. After all, it does have to cross a prairie filled with woolly mammoths and climb treacherous mountains passes where nasty things lurk.

      In a world ruled by committees of wizards, and packed with every creature imaginable, in the sleazy backstreets of Central City you can always count on Randolph C. Aloysius to solve your problems. That is, assuming his trusty Girl Friday, Bertha, can track him down. A sucker for a pair of legs, Randy takes the case of a long legged Elf trying to locate a missing boyfriend. Simple. Of course, nothing is ever simple in Randy's life, what with avoiding commitments to his long-suffering lady friend, an attempted murder, a real murder, stolen baubles, and another damsel in distress. What's a private eye to do? Simple really. Follow the clues off-world, avoid demons, vampires and other assorted miscreants, and hope to come home with enough coin left over to meet Bertha's back wages.

      With no clients in the office in two weeks, Randy is bored and Bertha is nagging. Then three cases walk in the door all at once. First, an impoverished widowed goblin who doesn't believe her husband committed suicide. It must be murder, only the minions of the Com P.S. have already closed the case. Then there is the well-off gnome who had a battered old horn stolen from his shop. Lastly, a stuck-up wealthy and obnoxious elf whose wife was kidnapped, but he is only worried about a cheap missing necklace. The usual pressure on Randy to solve the cases while trying to avoid getting involved with some serious nasties sounds simple enough. Did we mention shadowy figures with scythes or the seductive crime bosses?
