Introducing Garrett, P.I. is a compilation of the first three books (Sweet Silver Blues, Bitter Gold Hearts, and Cold Copper Tears) in Glen Cook’s Garrett, P.I. series. Fantasy noir detective stories — and, yes, I just wrote a book that is a fantasy noir detective story. I’m hardly going to pretend that I don’t like this series, but Shamus Tom Vargas ain’t Garrett. They’d get along, but they ain’t twins or anything like that.

Book of the Week: Sweet Silver Blues.
Sweet Silver Blues is Glen Cook’s first book in his Garrett, PI series. It’s basically hard-boiled detective fiction set in a fantasy medieval city, only not in a gimmicky way because it takes seriously the detective portion of it and the doesn’t use the fantasy portion of it to cheat on the plot. The series also has the nice quality of allowing the setting to keep evolving; the world is significantly different at the end of the latest book than it was at the beginning of the first. Check it out.
And so, adieu to The Berlin Project.
