Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sweet Silver Blues is the first 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.An old friend, gnomish veteran Denny Tate, dies in an accident and names Garrett the executor of his estate. Denny has amassed a vast fortune of one hundred thousand marks in silver and offers 10% of the fee to Garrett to deliver it to his ex-lover, Kayean Kronk.This does not sit well with Denny's sister, Rose, nor with his former business partners. Garrett soon finds himself offered bribes, threats, and combinations of the two to leave the case alone. Unfortunately, Garrett refuses to do so as a matter of professional pride.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Journeying to the war ravaged region of Cantard, Denny has to find the mysterious Kayean Kronk and why no one is willing to speak of her even among immediate family. Garrett's only allies are his vegetarian assassin friend, Morley, his undead business partner Dead Man, and two very smelly grolls.The book successfully inverts the formula of many Urban Fantasy novels by placing a more or less mundane Private Investigator in a world full of supernatural creatures as well as Medieval Stasis setting.The book is followed by Bitter Gold Hearts. | |
