Synopsis
Red Iron Nights, the sixth Garrett P.I. novel, follows Garrett, TunFaire's ex-marine freelance investigator, as he works another case across the capital of Karenta and the war-torn territories beyond its borders, with the series here leaning more heavily on straightforward detective work than on magical spectacle. Garrett continues to rely on the Dead Man, the telepathic and telekinetic Loghyr corpse who serves as his business partner, for guidance in cases that draw on his powers of deduction from the confines of Garrett's house, while Garrett's half-elf friend Morley Dotes and other regular contacts in TunFaire's underworld and law enforcement round out his support network.

Notes
- From the series record (Garrett P.I.): Core Canon = the 14-novel main sequence. Fourteen books were originally published one at a time from 1987 to 2013; omnibus reissues of groups of three exist but add no new content and are not catalogued separately.
Neighbouring works
Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings, but they resolve to the exact same sequence for this book, so one combined line is shown instead of two identical ones.
