Chasing Danger

Take a walk on the noir side of dark urban fantasy...

Calasia: it's a big town with big problems. Murder, thievery, extortion, corruption, magic, and monsters--just ask any native here: this ain't a burg for the faint of heart. You don't live in Calasia, you survive it.

Theron Chase walks these mean streets with a sap in one hand and a .45 in the other. Story is he used to be a hell of a cop in these parts--until his partner got dead in a hurry years ago. Now he makes a living as a private eye, offering his services to one and all while trying to stay on the good side of his secretary, a dishy-looking fae name of Kyra Sylvari. Ogres, werewolves, crime bosses, mages--as long as your money's good and no one's looking to turn him into a dead man (walking or otherwise), odds are he'll be able to solve your problem.

Just don't ask him to handle any magic-related items--he's about as adept with the arcane arts as a troll in a knitting circle.

In this collection by acclaimed fantasy author Richard C. White (Terra Incognito, Harbinger of Darkness, For a Few Gold Pieces More), you'll find four of Chase's bizarre cases. From a sexy chanteuse who literally turns into a beast when the moon is full to a string of pearls that kills its owners, and from the ghost of a dead woman seeking justice to the Grim Reaper's little girl seeking her stolen chicken, Theron Chase certainly has his hands full--of danger, death, and dames!

"Richard C. White knows how to spin a great yarn!"--Bobby Nash, author of Domino Lady: Money Shot
