Glen Cook did one heckuva job with this book - it answered a lot of questions I had about Garrett's painting of Ellenor hanging in his office (This happens when one reads a series out of sequence) as well as delving deeper into his relationship with Morley. While a little dark, this book is still full of action, ghosts, walking corpse's, magic, trolls and about anything else that makes a fantasy novel worth reading, which this book certainly is. gmb 3-25-20

Glen Cook (born July 9, 1944) is an American writer of fantasy and science fiction, best known for his series *The Black Company*, a dark military fantasy that follows the adventures of an elite mercenary unit, and *Garrett P.I.* about a hardboiled detective in a fantasy world, blending elements of mystery and fantasy. Born in New York City, he grew up in northern California and served in the U.S. Navy from 1962 to 1972. He attended the Clarion Writer's Workshop in 1970, which helped launch his writing career. His first published novel, [*The Heirs of Babylon*][4], was published in 1972. After his military service, Cook worked at a General Motors assembly plant while writing prolifically. Hi
