Chasing Danger: The Case Files of Theron Chase
 |
Vampires. Werewolves. Shapeshifters. Mer-folk. Sometimes a private eye can't be choosy about his clients… Calasia: it's a big town with big problems. Murder¸ thievery¸ extortion¸ corruption¸ magic¸ and monsters-just ask any native here: this ain't a burg for the faint of heart. You don't live in Calasia¸ you survive it. Theron Chase walks these mean streets with a sap in one hand and a.45 in the other. Story is he used to be a hell of a cop in these parts-until his partner got dead in a hurry years ago. Now he makes a living as a private eye¸ offering his services to one and all while trying to stay on the good side of his secretary¸ a dishy-looking fae name of Kyra Sylvari. Ogres¸ werewolves¸ crime bosses¸ mages-as long as your money's good and no one's looking to turn him into a dead man (walking or otherwise)¸ odds are he'll be able to solve your problem. Just don't ask him to handle any magic-related items-he's about as adept with the arcane arts as a troll in a knitting circle. In this collection you'll find four of Chase's bizarre cases. From a sexy chanteuse who literally turns into a beast when the moon is full to a string of pearls that kills its owners¸ and from the ghost of a dead woman seeking justice to the Grim Reaper's little girl seeking her stolen chicken¸ Theron Chase certainly has his hands full-of danger¸ death¸ and dames!
