Zavant
Gordon Rennie‘YOU HAVE EXAMINED the corpse, no doubt?’ Graf Otto rasped, looking at Zavant Konniger. ‘What are your conclusions?’ Konniger set down his wine glass and composed himself before answering. ‘Foul play has been committed, certainly. But it was not a robbery-turned-murder. The victim’s killer left a full purse of gold behind him. And Altdorf’s footpads and cut-purses may be a bloodthirsty lot, but I have yet to meet one who would make a habit of ripping out his victims’ throats with his bare teeth.’ ‘Surely it is the work of some wild animal, then?’ Konniger paused, sensing that he was being tested. ‘Animals kill for food. Whatever killed this poor unfortunate did so only for its own savage pleasure.’ THE OLD WORLD is a dark and deadly place – even the towns and cities offer little shelter, for the evil that stalks their fog-shrouded streets is as deadly as it is elusive. Enter Zavant Konniger, the great sage-detective of Altdorf. Accompanied by his trusty halfling manservant, Vido, this most brilliant scholar must use his incredible powers of deduction to solve the most sinister mysteries of the day.
