| Cold Copper Tears | comment |
Bitter Gold Hearts is the second book of the Garrett, P.I. books by Glen Cook. It is a Fantastic Noir series set in a High Fantasy world. Garrett is a private investigator, former Marine, and Knight in Sour Armor working to solve a variety of cases with all the witches as well as other creatures about him.It is a bad time to religion in TunFaire because a bunch of holy relics have been stolen from the Orthodox branch of the Hano worshipers of Karentine. No one has claimed credit and the Orthodox church has become the laughing stock of the city. This is something that Garrett finds hilarious given his own Naytheist views.Garrett finds himself contacted by a beautiful woman named Jill Craight, who he immediately attemps to fob onto Saucerhead because he doesn't want the case. Similarly, he is contacted by Magister Peridont, who wants him to recover the aforementioned religious relics for the main Church (as opposed to the Orthodox). Unfortunately, despite refusing this, he finds himself soon targeted by people who have a more than passing interest in the case.Teaming up with a young street urchin named Maya, Garrett finds himself involved in matters both theological as well as political (and he hates both).It is followed by Old Tin Sorrows. | |

Corrupt Church: Garrett more than makes his opinion known that he considers all religions to be this. It is so well-known that the Hano Church's Magistar knows it. Subverted by the fact Garrett has severe issues with the case because he cannot conceive that a church can NOT be this. | |

Gang of Hats | |
| Cold Copper Tears / int_5bf69547 | comment |
Gang of Hats: Lots of gangs of "chuckos" are race-specific, and the Sisters of Doom are both all-human and all-female. The Stompers from Cruel Zinc Melodies are an aversion, being about as generic as they come. | |

Black-and-White Morality: Part of what makes Garrett have such difficulty dealing with this plot is that the Church vs. Brothers of Hammon is one of these. He can't grock that they're willing to fight and die to save or destroy the world. | |

| Cold Copper Tears / int_ab27d196 | comment |
Apocalypse Cult: The cult of the Devastator aims to release a world-destroying dark god from its prison. Lampshaded and deconstructed by the Dead Man, who points out that, subconsciously, the cultists don't really want to end the world, they're just morbid and petty enough to get a charge out of thinking they can. | |
