Read The Sword-Edged Blonde
Read The Sword-Edged Blonde by Alex Bledsoe--good book.

I rather expected to like it, because I'd have enjoyed either a fantasy-adventure story with Chandleresque trappings or a hard-boiled detective story with fantasy adventure trappings.  This book, though, exceeded my expectations by being both.

I don't want to say too much about just what fantasy-story elements are there, because they'd be spoilers for the story.  It doesn't spoil anything, though, to say that the detective is a former solder who saw some bad stuff--which is the same sensibility that informed a lot of the detective fiction of the 1940s and 1950s. 

On top of doing both of those things well, it offers an extra bonus for me because the economic underpinnings of the world are rather more fully realized than in most fantasy stories.  It's not overdone--very possibly most readers won't even notice--but the whole story works better because the author knows more about economics than most writers seem to.

If you like that sort of thing, I'll go out on a limb and suggest that you'd like this one too.
