From the author of the #1 Kindle Bestselling ‘Detective Strongoak and the Case of the Dead Elf’ – the new Detective Strongoak adventure.
You never hear much about Dwarf women, do you? That’s because they are trouble. Real trouble.
When Master Detective Nicely Strongoak first encounters the drop-dead gorgeous dwarfess ‘Diamond’, a fully paid up member of the Citadel Guild of Amorous Dancers and Associated Divesters, he should have known better than to leave his business card. Especially when subsequent business turns out to involve murder and the man reputed to be the Citadel’s Dark Crime Lord.
He certainly shouldn’t have gone to help Diamond beat a murder rap. Not when it involved heading back to the old Dwarf Kingdom of Skragsrealm, and the memories of a much younger Nicely and his encounter with the Nine Idlers – a group of men, elves, gnomes, dwarves and even a Warrior Princess. Oh, and the one brutal killing he had never managed to solve. Yet his alliance with the strangely attractive gobliness Detective Analyst Grundrund leads Nicely on a trail full of enchanters and lost love that might solve not just one, but three murders. That’s if the rewilded wolves and mud dragons don’t get him first.

Terry Newman was a research scientist, working on heart and lung function, who one day found himself in the BBC's Broad-casting House writing comedy. He is still rather vague about how this happened, but afterwards he decided that writing was more fun than sitting at an electron microscope in the dark. He has gone on to write award-winning films and plays and also writes for TV, radio, New Media, animation and games.His first novel, published by Harper Voyager: Detective Strongoak and the Case of the Dead Elf introduced the well-dressed, axe-wielding, Master Detective Nicely Strongoak and was a #1 Kindle Bestseller in the USA. Nicely's adventures continued in The King of Elfland's Little Sister and Dwarf Girls Don't Dance.Camelot Noir is a new series featuring the world-weary Sword-for-Hire and investigator Chaucere in King Arthur's Camelot.Terry now works in a nice bright room with a view of the Sussex Weald, where he also writes musicals and songs, but he does sometimes still miss his microscope.
