If "Fantasy-noir" is considered as a distinct genre, then Frank Tuttle might just be its reigning monarch.Markhat's latest exploits have all the adventure and humor I've come to expect; brisk, lively, and intricate plotting, seasoned with delightfully funny moments that make me laugh out loud.  Think Douglas Adams meets Dashiell Hammett, filtered through a lens of Terry Pratchett.Markhat and the rest of the cast are continuing to develop -- some old friends show more nuance, and some characters that had been only lightly delineated gain some interesting depth.  Two of the regulars were away for a good deal of the novel -- I always enjoy Evis and Mama Hog, and both were traveling -- but both make their voices heard, all the same.If you've read previous Markhat novels, don't wait -- buy this immediately.  If you haven't read any ... what are you waiting for?
