description: The Cadaver Client Markhat is hired by a guilty ghost to make amends to the wife and child he abandoned a decade ago  but is the dead man really dead and is he seeking his estranged wife not out of guilt but out of his insatiable desire to deal out a final cruel act of vengeance?The Mister Trophy All the finder Markhat wanted was a beer at Eddies. Instead he gets a case that will bring him face to fang with crazed blood-craving halfdead a trio of vengeful Troll warriors and Mama Hogs unpredictable brand of backstreet magic. Oh and the possible resurgence of the Troll War that nearly wiped humanity out a decade ago. Through Rannits narrow alleys and mean streets Markhat runs to stay one step ahead of disaster all the while ignoring Mama Hogs dire warnings that this time the head that rolls could be his own!Dead Mans Rain Markhat is a finder by trade charged with the post-war task of tracking down missing sons and fathers whod fought in the War but remained missing after the Truce. But now its ten years on after the war and about all hes finding is trouble. This time trouble comes in the form of a rich widow with a problem. Her dearly departed husband Ebed Merlat keeps ambling back from the grave for nocturnal visits. Markhat saw a lot during the war but hes never seen anyone rich or poor rise from the grave and go tromping around the landscape. But for the right price hes willing to look into it. As a storm gathers and night falls Markhat finds darker things than even murder lurk amid the shadows of House Merlat.
