My job as a private investigator wasn’t particularly glamorous. In fact, some would go so far as to call it monotonous. Still, being able to help ponies in ways the cops couldn’t, or wouldn’t, was fulfilling. Then a former client and friend was arrested for murder. If the police aren’t going to do a serious investigation, then I have to. And I need to solve it before anypony else dies.

This is another in the spin-off series from The Quicksilver Chronicles featuring the private investigator Dark Steel.
