Eddie LaCrosse recounts a past case he had when a coffin is delivered to the pub he in which keeps his office in the dead of winter.  A tale based upon Arthurian legend, Eddie tells of how he had been active on a case for a client in Grand Braun when he finds himself embroiled in a poisoning and must clear Queen Jenny's name on behalf the King Marcus Drake. 

By putting his own spin on the tale of the death of Arthur, Bledsoe is able to keep the reader engaged to the end of the book and its fun to see characters renamed and re imagined.  This whole series is light and quick to read but highly enjoyable with its mix of fantasy and hard-boiled detective fiction.
