Secure in their own world, a whole society lives and dies in the shadows and silences of the Lower Realms; a society rich and complex, enlivened with gossip and intrigue, politics and power, and all bound by ancient laws and customs. It is a sociey where many labour long and hard to earn their living and to make their law-abiding way in the world. And, inevitably, there are those who break those laws, defrauding and stealing from those who toil in honest work. But there are darker crimes, more subtle crimes: crimes of passion and prejustice; crimes of magic and misdirection; crimes where it cannot always be said for certain who is the perpetrator and who is the victim. Through this twisting maze of crime and glamour, this confused and uneven landscape of closing doors and hidden traps, one Goblin walks alone: Findo Gask. An honest investigator and relucant detective, one who invariably sees too much, hears more and says nothing. A Goblin who, for the princely sum of twenty-five dollars a day - plus a little for those inevitable expenses - will guide you through the labyrinth of morality and danger and into the moonlight.
