Murder and intrigue in the savage world of Warhammer . . .
'Somewhere in the dark, the killer snarled to itself in pleasure. It stretched, chafing against the confines of the body in which it hid. Soon the Red Moon would rise as night fell over the city. Soon it would be free again. The prey had been found and the bait had been taken. Soon it would feed.'
The city of Altdorf, capital of the empire, a city unique for its power, its grandeur, its glory - and its dark underbelly. In its squalid back-streets and dingy hidden rooms thrive intrigues and plots, conspiracies and heresy. None are above the notice of Zavant Konniger, gentleman sage, ex-priest and dabbler in the mystic and the forbidden, with eyes of fierce intelligence that strip away all which is irrelevant in the search for the truth.
From daring thefts to savage murders, the casebook of Zavant Konniger chronicles some of the infamous sage's greatest investigations, finest triumphs and darkest hours.
