This has some awesome music. I really, really need to read these two books!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Alex Bledsoes first novel,The Sword-Edged Blonde, drew rave reviews for its ingenious blend of fantasy and hard-boiled detective fiction. Now Bledsoe returns with an all-new tale of mean streets and medieval intrigue.
Above Angelinas Tavern in down-and-dirty Neceda youll find the office of Eddie LaCrosse, a freelance sword jockey who, for twenty-five gold pieces a day, will take on any task short of murder for hire. Eddies on his way back from a routine investigation when his horse almost runs down a half-naked blonde in serious trouble. Against his better judgment, he promises to protect the frightened young woman, only to find himself waylaid by unknown assailants and left for dead beside her mutilated body.
Eddie isnt the kind of guy to just let something like this pass. But who killed Laura Lesperitt? Eddies quest for payback leads him to a tangled mystery involving a notorious crime lord, a backwoods dragon cult, royal scandals, and a duplicitous femme fatale who has trouble keeping her clothes on. As bodies pile up, attracting the unwelcome attention of the kings guards, Eddie must use all his wits if he hopes to survive…

John,
I loved the first book (I highly recommend the audio version!). Can’t wait to get the second one soon! We’ve got them both reviewed, BTW.
