Dead Wrongs

First in a new fantasy mystery series from acclaimed author John Goodrich, Dead Wrongs features a mage who solves mysteries by asking the dead who murdered them.

Malandro has a decent gig going for a necromancer. When there are murders, he temporarily brings victims’ spirits back to their bodies—so they can point a finger at their killers. This earns him just enough coin to survive in the dog-eat-dog city of Amelath.

But when a beautiful widow needs help solving her husband’s murder, Malandro discovers a new challenge: the dead man refuses to name who did it. Malandro is reduced to finding clues, investigating leads, and tracking down witnesses—in the process acquiring a new set of enemies, and he already had a healthy share.

When a fire mage starts actively trying to kill him, Malandro realizes he’s unraveling a magical conspiracy involving the most powerful people in the city. And if he doesn’t solve his case in time, he’ll find it easier than ever to talk to the dead—because he’ll be one of them.
