Murder in the Boughs (Hank Mossberg, Private Ogre Book 1)

Description

Elven gangsters, streetwalking nymphs and pixie dust dealers. This ain’t no fairy-tale.

San Francisco’s magical undercity is populated by every fantastical creature imaginable: dwarves, elves, centaurs, and thousands of fairies make it their home -but this is not your typical fairy-tale. If you think humans invented organized crime, wait until you meet the goblins.

It’s Hank Mossberg’s job to keep them all in line. All he has to do is recruit a bitter old wizard to help solve a murder, break up a pixie dust ring, and keep his dwarf deputy from getting them all killed in the process. No problem. Unfortunately, the fae have cops of their own, and they think Hank is the killer.
