A beleaguered PI searches for a missing unicorn in a city full of strange creatures in this classic humorous fantasy by a five-time Hugo Award winner. It’s New Year’s Eve, and private investigator John Justin Mallory is drowning his sorrows in whiskey. His wife ran off with his partner, his business is in bad shape, and the mob is out to get him. He begins to wonder if he’s had enough to drink when his next client walks in. Mürgenstürm the elf is missing his unicorn, and if he doesn’t get it back by dawn, his guild will kill him. Mallory’s search soon leads him into a fantastical world—a shadowy side of Manhattan full of strange creatures including goblins, trolls, cat people, ghosts in the Stock Exchange, and gnomes in the subway. But in this world of new friends and unusual rules, there’s also a malevolent demon named Grundy. He will do anything to get his hands on the unicorn, and if he succeeds, Mallory’s client won’t be the only being who suffers . . . A terrific choice for fans of Alan Dean Foster. “[An] enchanting blend of fantasy and hard-boiled detection. . . . The crisp dialogue and imaginative setting will have many fantasy readers wanting to revisit Manhattan’s magical side.” —Publishers Weekly “It’s clever, funny, and exciting, with a likable hero, plenty of offbeat supporting characters, and that beguiling blend of fantasy and mystery.” —Booklist
On a gloomy New Year's Eve, recently bereft of wife and partner, down-and-out New York City PI John Justin Mallory is hired by Mrgenstrm, a little green elf who wants Mallory to track down a stolen unicorn. After gradually accepting that his client is not an alcohol-fueled hallucination, Mallory deftly takes on a shadow city of demons, leprechauns and gnomes even as he learns that his own future hinges on the unicorn's recovery.
It’s Valentine's Day and private detective John Justin Mallory is planning on closing up the office early and taking his partner, Col. Winnifred Carruthers, out to dinner, since he's sure no one else will do so. But before he can turn off the lights and lock the door, a panic-stricken Buffalo Bill Brody visits them. It seems that the Eastminster pet show is being held the next day, and his dragon, Fluffy, the heavy favorite, has been kidnapped. Mallory's nocturnal hunt for the miniature dragon takes him to some of the stranger sections of this Manhattan—Greenwitch Village (which is right around the corner from Greenwich Village and is populated by witches and covens); a wax museum where figures of Humphrey Bogart, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre come alive; Gracie Mansion (which is haunted by the ghosts of former mayors); and the Bureau of Missing Creatures, a movie set where they're filming a PBS documentary on zombies and various other denizens of the Manhattan night. As Mallory follows the leads and hunts for clues, he comes up against one dead end after another. Along the way he meets a few old friends and enemies, and a host of strange new inhabitants of this otherworldly Manhattan. Aided by a strange goblin named Jeeves, Mallory has only one night to find a tiny dragon that's hidden somewhere in a city of seven million.
It’s Halloween, and John Justin Mallory’s partner, Winnifred Carruthers, has been so busy preparing for the biggest holiday of the year (in his Manhattan, anyway) that she seems short of energy and pale. Mallory is worried that she’s been working too hard. Then he notices the two puncture marks on her neck… On this night when ghosts and goblins are out celebrating, detective Mallory must stalk the vampire who has threatened his assistant, Winnifred Carruthers, and killed her nephew. With the aid of Felina, the catgirl, Mallory and Carruthers investigate clubs and lairs that only seem to exist on this one night of the year. His hunt takes him to Creepy Conrad's Cut-Rate All-Night Mortuary, where he questions the living and the dead; to the Annual Zombies' Ball, to learn more about the undead; to the Hills of Home Cemetery, where the vampire sleeps by day; and to Battery Park, where all of Manhattan's bats come to feed and sleep. Along the way he meets a few old friends and enemies, and a host of strange new inhabitants of this otherworldly Manhattan. Locked in an intriguing battle of wits with the millennia-old vampire, Mallory has until dawn if he is to save his trusted partner.
Meet Chase Summers. Or don't. He likely doesn't care either way. Chase is a 30-year-old star senior consultant at the prestigious consulting firm, Schwartz-Kenway, and has all the trappings that come with it. He lives in a luxury Fifth Avenue apartment, is supremely intelligent, and is dashingly handsome. Chase is the outward picture of success. The world should be in the palm of his hand. If only he saw it that way. You see...Chase is just a little bit different from those around him: He studies Greek mythology in his spare time and listens to opera in the shower One of his closest friends is a middle-aged homeless man named Al He is vexed by even the simplest social interactions, particularly elevator etiquette Detached from much of the world around him, Chase views his day-to-day existence as an unremarkable series of meaningless events, much to the chagrin of Al and his fun-loving colleagues: Max, Mo, and David. Work provides him his only satisfaction; a fact not lost on his overbearing boss, Charles, whose relentless hunt for that "once-in-a-lifetime" client is outdone only by his own arrogance. However, after a chance encounter with Gloria Price, an attractive yet unassuming art industry hopeful with a zest for life, Chase is given a peek into a spirited and vibrant world that he has too often shunned. What seems too good to be true often is though, and when Chase's demons begin to encroach on his newfound relationship, he is forced to choose between his weary but familiar past or the excitement of an uncharted future. Part corporate satire, part romantic comedy, Chasing the Unicorn is the story of a young man who comes to learn what really matters in life: living it.
