TURN THAT CROWN UPSIDE-DOWN...When Banyon takes an easy gig bodyguarding the visiting Queen of Albion, he figures for the first time in his career he's finally got it made. A little quick cash for an afternoon's work. What can go wrong? When you're Crag Banyon, don't ask. No sooner does he take the job than someone tries to kill Her Royal Handbag. No sooner does he save her than someone tries to kill him. No sooner does he say to hell with it and escapes to his favorite bar than the local temperance league shuts it down. Banyon's having the worst day of his life, and that's before a rival P.I. commits a very public suicide that somehow links back to Banyon Investigations, Inc.Banyon would rather be warming his favorite barstool than figuring out what it all has to do with an ancient wizard, a nasty curse, a sleazy pawn shop, and a very large tree, but unfortunately someone's finally figured out a motivation that has him stumbling out the nearest exit. This time if Banyon doesn't show up for work, he'll be visiting his legs in a different zip code....CRAG BANYON'S ON THE CASE!

Review:

"5 stars...an entertaining detective story, expertly combined with fantasy elements...a highly entertaining and funny read." --ReadersFavorite.com

(Crag Banyon)'s an amiable...traveling companion, with a keen, if rather bloodshot, eye for detail and a way with a wisecrack. --The Thrilling Detective Web Site
