Book Description
================
Equal parts sword-and-sorcery action/adventure and noir whodunit, Bledsoe's finely polished debut is 
evocative of fantasy legend Fritz Leiber's classic tales of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. Bledsoe's narrative, 
while set in a comparable world, features only one protagonist: sword jockey Eddie LaCrosse, a private investigator 
who has spent most of his life trying to distance himself from a shadowy and tragic past. When his old childhood friend, 
King Philip of Arentia, enlists his help to unravel a scandalous mystery surrounding the brutal death of the young royal 
heir—a murder in which the king's beautiful wife, Rhiannon, is the prime suspect—LaCrosse accepts only to encounter a deity 
who forces him to come to grips with the horrific events of his youth. Incorporating elements from both hard-boiled mystery 
and heroic fantasy, 
Bledsoe's genre-blending first novel is both stylish and self-assured: Raymond Chandler meets Raymond E. Feist. (Nov.)
