The Last Defender of Albion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781883688080)

"Detective Max Luton, Homicide."

My standard intro, and yeah, this old dog's used it a lot, over the years. I've investigated a good many deaths. Maybe too many. This one was strange. Rich tiger, a lawyer a little younger than me, offs himself with a gun in one paw and a short sword in the other. Crazy, but what's that to me? Nothing... except that the brass wants it to be a murder. After all, no rich guy who has everything would commit suicide, right?

My hunt for a candidate to be a killer led me to several crazy characters who didn't know nuthin'. Finally, that twisted trail pointed to some group called Timewind that's wrapped up in his past. Some kind of subversive-hippie-commie bunch, according to the government watch groups that labeled them domestic terrorists. They'd made the sword that I'd found on the tiger. They knew him, once upon a time; maybe they'd know why he killed himself. Maybe it had something to do with this book of theirs, The Tribal Manifesto. I figured I had to check it out.

Might be dangerous, but at least it'd be an interesting way to go...
