<p>CSI in the land of elves, but they aren&#8217;t cute and christmassy, they&#8217;re sometimes sinister, and definitely deceased&#8230;</p>
<p>Private eye Nicely Strongoak is your average detective-for-hire, if your average detective is a dwarf with a Napoleon complex. In a city filled with drug-taking gnomes, goblins packing heat and a serious case of missing-persons, Strongoak might just be what&#8217;s needed.</p>
<p>But things are about to turn sour. When on the trail of the vanished surfer, Perry Goodfellow, Nicely receives a sharp blow to the head, is burgled by goblins and awakes in a narcotic-induced haze on the floor of a steamwagon with an extremely deceased elf, who just happens to have Nicely&#8217;s axe wedged in his head.</p>
<p>Nicely must enter the murky world of government politics if he is going to crack his toughest case yet. He&#8217;ll have to find Perry, uncover who the dead elf is and leave no cobblestone unturned&#8230;</p>
