Synopsis
The Stonehaven series of graphic novels is an adventure/drama set in a modern day fantasy realm. Elves, dwarves, and ogres live side by side with humans in one of the largest cities in the world. The series features an ensemble cast and a unique meld of genres in a stand alone story format. The introduction to this series features a State Ranger who comes to Stonehaven in search of his runaway daughter. He hires a dubious half-elf private detective to aid in his quest. The pair quickly uncover that the girl has fallen into the clutches of a murderous werewolf hunted by both the law and the local Asian Crime syndicate. Fate and circumstance make for strange bedfellows as these apparent random events crash together in this stunning tale of good, evil, and the grey areas in-between.

From Booklist
Gr. 7-up. A state ranger comes to the big city to find his runaway daughter and, because the city cops search for teens very slowly, hires a P.I. who's lived there all his life. Then the case starts cracking with alarming speed, leading the hick-and-sharpy pair into conflict with the mob that runs Chinatown and on the trail of a loose-cannon werewolf. At this point, it should be said that in Stonehaven, this caper's NYC-like setting, some people are humans, and others, like the P.I., have pointy ears and might be, say, elves. The long-limbed, big-headed, muscular plug-uglies, who are the town's concierges, are obviously trolls; and some biker-types, usually deployed in packs, get all furry and fangy if you rile them. (Also, the ranger has a centaur colleague upstate.) Tinsley, author of previous Stonehaven stories, makes little of the populace's interesting variations this time and concentrates on a neat country-mouse-town-mouse crime thriller faintly reminiscent of the old Clint Eastwood flick Coogan's Bluff. Singer's art looks decoupage-ish: a little clunky but effective enough. Ray Olson
