First in a trilogy, but stands on its own and has real resolution within. And the trilogy is it -- the end. No ten-volume series, this....<BR/><BR/>P.S.

This tough female PI urban fantasy genre is really interesting.

I've tried, and even once got through most of a book, but funny fantasy is not, in general my cup of tea :)Kameron Hurleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098854454236774225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463512.post-86374144225516784892007-10-23T13:35:00.000-04:002007-10-23T13:35:00.000-04:00Terry Pratchett.
