Synopsis

A con artist named Darlington Blade steals a dead wizard's cloak and is mistaken for the man himself in a remote town of Halruaa. As he tries to maintain the deception, he finds himself having to investigate the wizard's murder before the real killers, who are still at large, come after him too.

Where it sits

Notes

  • Two of the three books in TSR's 1996 cross-setting 'Mysteries' marketing line; the third, 'Murder in Tarsis', is set in Dragonlance rather than Forgotten Realms and is tracked separately.
  • From the series record (Forgotten Realms Mysteries): The two Forgotten Realms-set entries of TSR's 1996 cross-setting 'Mysteries' marketing line (Murder in Cormyr, Murder in Halruaa); the line's third book, Murder in Tarsis, is a Dragonlance novel.

Neighbouring works

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.

  • Publication order, within the series Forgotten Realms Mysteries: position 2 of 2: previous Murder in Cormyr (1996)
