If Garrett had lived in our world, and not in the world of magic, he would have competed on equal terms with the famous heroes of the “black detective”, private investigators Nero Wolfe, Mike Hammer, Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade. But in Tanfer, inhabited not only by people, but also by elves, pixies, gnomes, trolls and other fantasy creatures, he has no equal. In the novel “The Whispering Nickel Idols”, having undertaken to find out why the king of the criminal world fell into a coma, Garrett will enter the fight with the daughter of the “king” - and discovers that not only this “princess” wants him dead. In the novel “Cruel Zinc Melodies”, Garrett, already ready to end his private investigation, is forced to deal with paranormal sabotage. The good intention of a wealthy brewer to open a new theater in Tanfer turns into a nightmare: gigantic beetles and a swarm of ghosts have appeared in the building under construction. And if only they threatened the peace and lives of the townspeople! Teenage gangs operate in the seedy quarter, and people from families living in the most respectable area turn out to be far from good boys in their intellectual and magical entertainment.
