Alex Bledsoe’s fantasy novels have drawn rave reviews for their ingenious blend of classic fantasy and hard-boiled detective fiction. Now Bledsoe returns with an all-new tale of intrigue and murder.

Freelance sword jockey Eddie LaCrosse is in the wrong place at the wrong time while conducting an undercover investigation on the island kingdom of Grand Bruan. When a poisoned apple kills a member of the queen’s personal guard, Eddie becomes the prime suspect in the murder. He must do some fast talking to keep his head attached to his shoulders. While trying to clear his name and find the real killer, Eddie becomes embroiled in a nasty political scandal. Someone is trying to ruin Queen Jennifer and doesn’t care who is killed along the way.

The more Eddie digs, the more twisted the lies become, until Eddie finds himself caught between two opposing armies. The fate of the entire kingdom lies in his hands.

Murder, betrayal, and magic—just another day on the job for Eddie LaCrosse.

I've read Tennyson. I've seen The Sword in the Stone. If it has to do with Arthurian legend, I've at least skimmed it. And I can honestly say, this is the most enjoyable version yet! Alex Bledsoe, thank you for giving me a Merlin I needed, but didnt know that I did

Best interpretation yet!

Although this tale takes place in eddies past, (Eddie is telling the story to the bar patrons at Angies place) it is reminiscent of Dr. Watson telling his tales of Sherlock. I think Alex did a great job with this book and is definitely one not to miss.

Bledsoe, in this entire series has a gift of story telling. Even though this series is in made up world, you don’t need to know much about it to understand the plots of any of the LeCross books and yet you don’t feel lacking or wondering at the end. He spins a mystery in a way that you will not understand until he tells it but you are so caught up in the adventure to notice it.

Perfect narration.

Great Series

The Eddie LaCrosse novels are essentially mystery\ adventures in a fantasy setting. Some fun, well-rounded characters in well-written stories. Dark Jenny takes place in an Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table type of setting (different names), and Bledsoe puts some interesting twists on the Arthurian characters so things don't necessarily play out the way you think they might. A very enjoyable listen, and I will continue to follow the series, for sure!

Fun fantasy / mystery with an Arthurian twist.

This is the third book I have listened to in this series & I loved it. The author has written the story so that it unravels as you go along, and keeps one interested and captivated. It’s a good plot, and always a slight unexpected twist at the end. Stefan is fantastic as a narrator with a deep voice, good pronunciation and inflections. He reads it like you would expect a story to be read. I love him as a narrator and he is perfect for these books. Thank you for this entertaining story……onto the next book!

Fabulous story - love the narrator

Although Stefan Rudnicki did a wonderful job at narration, the story line was a bit different, taking place in Eddie LaCrosse's past. He is telling the story to his friends as they sit and drink to hear his tale. It goes from the (Bar room story, several times and then back to Eddie telling his tale) You will see a lot of parallels, between Eddies story and the story of "King Arthur". True evil and again those with weak stomach, may wish to pass on this. I hope that Alex Bledsoe continues with more Eddie LaCross in more Original tales. The first two books were wonderful and I recommend them highly. This book is a bit different and it can stand alone, where the first two can not. I was hoping for more about Eddie, but I do hope that Mr Bledsoe will hear the fans and poke some life into a new story for Eddie Et Al.

Very different from the first two in the series

The narrator's deep baritone adds to the author's gripping story that reads almost like a Sherlock Holmes story, but with action. The story pulls you in and keeps you engaged even after the mystery is solved.
