Cold copper tears - Glen Cook

SUMMARY: She is tall, blonde, and offering Garrett an irresistible fee to take a case that seems open-and-shut. But in a town of elves and humans, thugs and swindlers - a place where magic and religion could prove an all to potent mix - Garrett had learned to take a long, hard look before saying yes. Garret's doubts are confirmed when the Grand Inquisitor comes looking for his help in the lovely lady's wake. But even a hard-boiled detective like Garret, with the Dead Man for an ally and the toughest half-elf in town guarding his back, can find that it's too late to say no. Turns out Garret's been fingered as the latest sacrifice to a long-dead god - and his only chance to save his neck is to solve the case.
