THE SECOND CASE FOR THE SUPER CITY COPS! Detective Elias Vondelikos has spent months working undercover to infiltrate the organization of Apollo, one of Super City's most dangerous and insane supervillains. But working for crazy bad guy has its risks, and the job the undercover cop was hired for turns vicious in a hurry.

Detectives Mac Taylor, Danny Messer, Sheldon Hawkes, and Don Flack are called in to investigate a double homicide at a medium-security facility on Staten Island. Racial tensions turned the prison into a pressure cooker that finally boiled over in an all-too-lethal fashion, leaving two inmates dead. One of the killings is an open-and-shut case, complete with eyewitnesses; but the other, the murder of a former cop, defies easy answers. Initial investigation of the crime scene points to one cause of death, but the CSI team's scientific methods uncover something completely different – and wholly unexpected… On the other edge of the city, Stella Bonasera and Lindsay Monroe look into the murder of a young woman who worked at a popular Italian bakery in the Bronx. They find the perfect suspect almost immediately: a frequent customer who spent a lot of time flirting with the victim and who previously had been arrested for a violent crime. Yet Stella can't help but think that their perfect suspect is just a little too perfect for such a messy murder… Nothing is as it seems as New York City's dedicated crime scene investigators piece together the clues and examine the evidence to discover the true killers in their midst.

"A fascinating excursion in genre-bending; worth a try
even for readers who usually take either their procedurals or their fantasies
unadulterated." —Booklist
Humans and elves, dwarves and gnomes, wizards and warriors
all live and do business in the thriving, overcrowded port city of Cliff's End,
to say nothing of the tourists and travelers who arrive by land and sea,
passing through the metropolis on matters of business or pleasure—or on quests.
The hard-working, under-appreciated officers of the Cliff's End Castle Guard
work day and night to maintain law and order as best they can.
As Cliff’s End struggles to deal with a massive influx of refugees
following a devastating fire in the neighboring city-state of Barlin, the docklands
are rocked by a stunning tragedy: the legendary Pirate Queen has been murdered!
Long the scourge of the Garamin Sea, the Pirate Queen’s death has ripple
effects beyond Cliff’s End. Even as Lieutenants Danthres Tresyllione and Torin
ban Wyvald investigate her murder, they find themselves embroiled in
conspiracies, politics, and the arcane law of the sea—and of the land!
An all-new adventure of the Cliff's End Castle Guard!
"Dungeons and Dragnet... As a take-off of the standard
crime drama, Dragon Precinct succeeds
nicely. Dressed in sword-and-sorcery trappings, the clichés of the genre are
given a fresh twist."

The hard-working, under-appreciated officers of the Cliff's End Castle Guard work day and night to maintain law and order as best they can.
Cliff's End is rocked by the death of Lord Albin. As soon as the funeral ends, Albin's son Blayk takes over and starts instituting wholesale changes in how the Cliff's End Castle Guard is run: enforced retirements of older guards (including Captain Osric), surprise promotions (including Grovis to replace Osric as Captain of the Guard), sword requalifications for all guards, and much more.
Worse, Blayk has split up Lieutenants Torin ban Wyvald and Danthres Tresyllione and given them new partners. Lieutenant Dru, still devastated by the loss of Lieutenant Hawk, also has a new partner. All three detectives catch separate cases, but the more they investigate, the more they realize that all three are related—and connected to a conspiracy that targets the King and Queen themselves!
An all-new adventure of the Cliff's End Castle Guard!
