Product Description
Synopsis
Fighting crime in magical Turai is a very tricky business if you don't know what you're doing. Thankfully, private investigator Thraxas never has this problem (according to Thraxas). Winter is coming to Turai, and Thraxas is in a bad mood. But it's going to get a whole heap worse because the orcs are coming too. Thraxas was a hero of the last Orc War (according to Thraxas). That was some years ago, however, and this time he would much prefer to keep his head down - preferably buried in a big steak pie. Unfortunately, when a senior member of the War Council is murdered by a cake, there's only one private investigator in line for the job. For some reason, it was a very short line.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thraxus is in it deep!!!, 20 Nov 2003
Martin Scott's books always zing along. Thraxus is such an unlikely hero, a touch of Sam Spade, a whiff of Rincewind but mostly an original. His appetites are as enormous as his attitudes (anyone expecting political correctness had better not start reading these books) and he romps through each adventure with breathtaking verve and outrageous wit. This book charts Thraxus' attempts to solve the murder of one of the city-state of Turai's more important politicians (by pastry - of all things)set against a background of an imminent invasion by the Orc nations. Thaxus' companions are a delightfully drawn motley-crew ranging from the cities chief sorceress through a merciless female assasin to a half human, quarter orc, quarter elf ex-gladiator with a taste for chainmail bikinis. Things never, ever go well for Thraxus but this time they couldn't get much worse!
