Low Town: A Novel

by Daniel Polansky
Low Town: A Novel
Low Town: A Novel

Crime-ridden city, ex-cop investigates child's murder.

If you're into gritty, noir-inspired fantasy worlds, "Low Town" could be a compelling pick for you. The combination of hard-boiled detective work and dark, urban atmosphere makes it a standout for fans of edgier, more mature fantasy settings. The Warden, a morally gray protagonist with a rich backstory, offers an intriguing perspective as he navigates the murky waters of crime and corruption.
