Synopsis
Sweet Silver Blues opens the Garrett P.I. series in the sprawling, corrupt city of TunFaire, capital of the kingdom of Karenta, where humans share cramped streets with elves, dwarves and other races. Garrett, an ex-marine turned freelance private investigator, is approached by the wealthy Tate family after Denny Tate, an old army comrade of Garrett's, dies and leaves behind a fortune in silver willed to a woman named Kayean Kronk, whom the family has never met. Garrett accepts the job of tracking her down and is forced to travel back into the Cantard, the war-torn southern territory he had hoped never to see again, all while rival parties connected to Denny's shady dealings try to get to the inheritance and its intended recipient first.

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.
