Death in the Hallows. Hank Mossberg, Private Ogre, #2

Hank Mossberg, the world's first ogre private eye is back in action. Hank is throwing a bachelor party for his best friend and deputy-dwarf Butch O'Shea, when he gets a phone call from an old friend, a wood-elf journalist named Flick Hunter. Flick begs Hank to meet him in the seedy undercity neighborhood known as the Hallows. Hank agrees and travels to the undercity -the magical home of thousands of fae creatures hidden in a cavern underneath San Francisco- and arrives just in time to find Flick murdered.
Hank finds the magical sword known as Excalibur driven through Flick's chest and into the stone beneath him. The undercity's chief detective warns Hank to stay off the case and out of the way, but for Hank, it's personal this time. Hank promises Flick's widow that he'll bring the killer to justice but little does he know that while he's investigating the illegal black market of enchanted weapons, the undercity's most powerful citizens are looking to end Hank's investigation permanently.
Crooked cops, power mad elites, and goblin gangsters are just the beginning of Hank's troubles. He'll stop at nothing to expose the killer, unless the killer finds him first.
