Thraxas and the Sorcerers

Thraxas, private investigator, lives in the poor part of town, with a barbarian for a landlord, and a female ex-gladiator to help him when the fighting gets rough. This is the fifth book in the Thraxas series.

Thraxas and the Sorcerers is the fifth book in the series. With the city still gripped by a fierce winter, the only thing Thraxas wants to do is drink beer in front of a roaring fire. To his annoyance, the city authorities won't let him rest. Every Sorcerer in the West is heading for Turai to elect a new leader. The Turanian government is desperate for their own candidate to win. This will require cheating, bribery and corruption on a massive scale. Naturally, the authorities turn to Thraxas and Makri for help. As they do their best to support Lisutaris - herself a notably intoxicated sorcerer - the Sorcerers Assemblage turns into the most riotously debauched affair ever seen in Turai. This is a new edition with an introduction by the author.
