The Investigator and the Fury of the Fog

The eagerly awaited sequel to the The Investigator and the Case of the Missing Brain, The Investigator and the Fury of the Fog, has finally arrived.

A Breach, an event whispered fearfully by the reckless few. An act by which the Investigator may break free of Cloatos, to rampage upon the world. The prisoner of Cloatos and at the same time its Investigator, having finally broken free from the confines of the Gates. Such an event is impossible, unacceptable, and any hint of it must be silenced, or drowned in the fiery flames of the Burning Council's agents.

The steaming city of Osyr where the industry forges its weapons against the enemy in the war of kings has a problem. It is not the tentacles that drag countless people into the hungry maws of the Kraken by their docks. It is not the shrieking of the Mangulls, or the Lost souls that cry out in its darkest corners.

The rumors that spread through the city are the problem, and those that point to a potential Breach are worrisome to the extreme.

Yet the haunting memories of the Investigator are far more real than others might think, at least for Lyara de la Malinne, Investigator for the Burning Council who has to contend with a shadow of the monster of Cloatos itself. Her worst nightmare given form, and yet also her best bet in reaching the end of a seemingly meaningless hunt through the districts of Osyr, all to safeguard the city from the fires of the Burning Council.

There is only one problem in playing the game by the Investigator's rules.

The Investigator always lies, yet, perhaps, there is an even greater threat at hand...

...the risk of believing in his innocence.
