Bad Dreams and Broken Hearts: The Case Files of Erik Rugar Kindle Edition

by Misha Burnett (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 5 ratings
See all formats and editions
It’s hard to fight wizards and demons when all you have is a gun and a badge.

The use of magic in the Sovereign City of Dracoheim is regulated by the Lord Mayor's Committee For Public Safety. From the licensing of magi, to the health and safety requirements for magical manufacturing, to the import and export of goods to the Realms of Nightmare, dedicated civil servants ensure that the metropolitan area stays safe from magical mayhem.

Most of the time, anyway.

My name is Erik Rugar. I’m an agent of the Criminal Investigation Division of CPS. We operate outside of the authority of Parliament and are answerable only to the Lord Mayor himself. We get involved when the regular beat cops are out of their depth. If a magic shop gets robbed by junkies, or someone gets vaporized by a fireball, or shapechanging creatures start infiltrating the city, I get the call.

But I’m not a mage; I’m just a cop. I face down magical threats with my keen investigative skills and a trusty revolver.

Welcome to my world.

Includes the short story “In the City of Dreadful Joy,” third-place winner of the 2019 Baen Fantasy Adventure Award!

Top review from United Kingdom

Paul Lucas
5.0 out of 5 stars A great read for fans of fantasy and police procedural shows
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2022
Verified Purchase
If you are a fan of fantasy fiction, but you also enjoy police and forensic shows like CSI and Law and Order, give this a try. Erik Rugar is one man with a gun and a badge, solving crimes involving necromancy, spell casting, and the creation of golems. It's a series of short stories that do their jobs with no fuss, flow very well, and overall it feels like a full and enjoyable season of Fantasy Five Oh.

I read it in just one day, and would love to read a sequel. Great fun.
