I've loved T. Kingfisher's previous Saint of Steel books, so I knew I was in for a treat with Galen's story. The basic background is that the paladins of the Saint of Steel were suddenly cut loose when their god died. Some went mad, many died but these books chronicle the stories of the ones who lived. Galen might not be entirely sane, but he's transferred his allegiance to the Temple of the White Rat and is getting on with life as best he can. When bodies begin to turn up, mutilated in strange but different ways, Galen goes to investigate with a brave gnole guardsman, and meets Piper, a lich-doctor (that's a pathologist to you and me) who specialises in determining cause of death. Galen had given up hope of ever finding love, but Piper might be the one, if Galen can protect him from the traps that await all three of them.
