Second in the Liam Rhenford & his dragon familiar, Fanuilh series. I enjoyed this one even better than the first one since you get to know the characters better including Fanuilh.
In this adventure, Liam is searching for the person who entered his house and stole three magical items. Of course, it's never that simple. His new buddy, constable Aedile Coeccias is involved in many ongoing investigations which invariably will cross with Liam's search. Let's see we have a ghost running around, an aborted robbery at a temple, a bunch of sailors that skipped town without paying their bills and a guild of thieves living it up.
I like this series but it is wordy and hard to decipher as the people speak some kind of broken English that (most times) takes a second glance to figure out what is actually being said. And this particular installment has an over-abundance of typos which slows the reading down farther. Overall enjoyable and I will be reading the next one.
