A Fool There Was by Jamie Sedgwick
Sedgwick’s one of a kind pulp-noir fantasy series continues, and this time Hank Mossberg is taking a backseat. Prepare to be treated to an entirely different perspective on life in the gritty fantasy setting of San Francisco’s undercity:

Goblin P.I. Sam Snyvvle may be crude, cynical, and vulgar, but one thing he’s not is stupid. When a gorgeous dryad offers Sam a king’s ransom to retrieve her stolen diamond, he knows the whole thing smells like a setup. Unfortunately, there are two things in the world that Sam can never pass up: a gorgeous dame and a truckload of money. Besides, if things don’t work out with the girl, Sam knows he can always pilfer the diamond for himself.

Snyvvle sets out to find the missing gem, but immediately ends up in hot water. He’s trapped in a room with an empty safe and a dead mob boss, and the police are banging down the door. Sam knows he looks guilty as sin, so like any sensible goblin, he goes on the run.

Now, Sam is in a race against time to locate the missing diamond and catch the crooks who set him up. Fortunately, Sam knows the dark, seedy streets of the undercity like the back of his hand. He swears that when he finds the people who framed him, they’re going to regret it. That is, if the cops, the mob, and his arch-nemesis Hank Mossberg don’t catch him first!

Warning!: Goblins are dangerous, sly creatures who often behave badly. They swear with great proficiency, they enjoy making crude sexual references, and constantly make bad jokes. If this sort of thing offends you, DO NOT hang out with goblins. Also, don’t read books about them. Like this one.
