Garrett also barely manages to protect the daughter of Chodo, the biggest crime lord in the city, when mysterious strangers target him. While he's fully capable of finding the killer, every clue indicates this has been going on for generations.Belinda, Chodo's daughter, also wants to hire Garrett in order to help her against the twins, Crask and Sadler, that are holding her father hostage. Chodo suffered a stroke after the events of Dread Brass Shadows and is being used as a Puppet King.It is followed by Deadly Quicksilver Lies.

To be fair, Garrett had no connection to the police and couldn't have relied on their protection before solving the murders for them.

Red Iron Nights / int_606244c2	comment	Parental Incest: Previous historical references suggest that incest isn't uncommon among the sorcerous elite, because magical ability is genetic and inbreeding amplifies this over generations. The fact that this usually leaves most sorcerers inbred and insane doesn't bother anyone.
