Finder
Finder: A Novel of the Borderlands.
Welcome to Bordertown. A hybrid community of misfits, oddballs and runaways. Where humans, elves and halflings co-exist. Where magic and the brutal realities of survival clash and mix. For Orient and Tick-Tick, it's just home.
Death and dark magic hang over the city. A seductive new drug lures young runaways to their destruction. A mysterious plague spreads through the streets. And beneath the clock tower on High Street, Bonnie Prince Charlie lies slain by an unseen hand.
The keys to the puzzle lie in the hands of Orient, the Finder, a young man with a gift for discovering lost objects. Becked up by a tough lady cop who's gotten further under his skin than he'd like to admit, Orient embarks on an oddyssey through the darkest corners of the perilous urban labyrinth in order to save those he loves from destruction.
