If you enjoyed how The Sword-Edged Blonde lets you ride inside Eddie’s head as he slices through tavern dust-ups and unravels a case tied to the powerful, you’ll click with Garrett’s voice here. He cracks jokes while chasing an inheritance mystery that pulls him from back-alley interrogations to a war-torn frontier, leaning on shady friends and the uncanny “Dead Man” the way Eddie leans on old contacts to pry open royal scandals.

The same smoky, knife-edge mood you liked—Eddie’s bar fights, backroom deals, and dangerous clients—permeates Fetch Phillips’s hunt for missing people and lost causes in a city where magic has dried up. Like Eddie, Fetch prowls alleys, knocks on the wrong doors, and uncovers ugly truths, all while narrating with bruised charm and bleak honesty.

If you loved how Eddie’s case keeps shedding its skin—secrets from his past colliding with royal intrigue—Locke’s duel with the Gray King will scratch that itch. Every time you think you see the con, a trapdoor opens: shifting allegiances, brutal reprisals in Camorr’s canals, and clever feints that reframe everything the way Eddie’s investigation pulls the floor out from under him.

Like Eddie’s sword-jockey sleuthing—wisecracks in the face of grisly discoveries—exorcist-for-hire Felix Castor talks you through a case with gallows humor and sharp instincts. From morgue run-ins to demonic politics, Castor needles suspects and takes a beating or two, just as Eddie quips through danger while the supernatural complicates every clue.

If Eddie’s willingness to bend the rules—leaning on informants, picking fights in dives, and doing what it takes to crack a case—won you over, you’ll appreciate the Warden. He stalks alleys, shakes down old associates, and tracks a child killer through a corrupt city, carrying the same rough-edged pragmatism and razor pragmatics that make Eddie such a compelling fixer.
