Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dread Brass Shadows is the fifth 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.Garrett is having an exceptionally bad day with his longtime paramour, Tinnie Tates, being stabbed for seemingly no reason. Before he dies, though, he mentions a mysterious "book." After dispatching the assassin, a naked woman stumbles into Garrett's house and soon disappears. After that, a giant bounty hunter named Winger and a mysterious beauty named Carla Lindo Ramda ask Garrett to find the book.As the story goes on, more people become interested in the mysterious book. Gnorst Gnorst, Chodo Contague, Lubbock, and the mysterious Serpent. The book turns out to The Book of Shadows, a mysterious artifact that allows a human to shapeshift into a hundred different identities with all of their power. It is enough to disrupt old alliances, destroy friendships, and leave Garrett with uncomfortable decisions.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It is followed by Red Iron Nights.

Amazonian Beauty: Garrett doesn't think this of Winger but it seems most others disagree.

Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: At the end, Garrett is spared the moral dilemma of having to help murder Chodo Contague because the Serpent poisons Chodo first, causing the crime lord to suffer a stroke.

Artifact of Doom: The Book of Shadows is an object that dwarves believe to be pure evil and Garrett believes is too powerful to run around with.

Big Bad Wannabe: Lubbock wants to be an Evil Sorcerer so bad he can taste it but doesn't have any magical tallent. He needs the Book of Shadows to become one. The Serpent is also one as she wants to be all powerful with the book but sacrificed most of her power into it, so she's easily defeated by Chodo.
