Piper is a lich-doctor, a physician who works among the dead, determining causes of death for the city guard's investigations. It's a peaceful, if solitary profession . . . until the day when he's called to the river to examine the latest in a series of mysterious bodies, mangled by some unknown force.
Galen is a paladin of a dead god, lost to holiness and no longer entirely sane. He has long since given up on any hope of love. But when the two men and a brave gnole constable are drawn into the maze of the mysterious killer, it's Galen's job to protect Piper from the traps that await them.
He's just not sure if he can protect Piper from the most dangerous threat of all . . .

Though paladins seem obsessed with sex (and not in the most elegant words), and very straight to business (what about tenderness, romance, sensuality, what is the rush?) Also, they seem to have a tendency to kiss people without their consent, by surprise and out of nowhere, and that is assault, not love. When they subsequently apologise, the assaulted characters say they liked it and that seems to make it ok in the reader mind, to act that way, but kisses, like any intimate interaction, require consent and awareness.
Apart from that, the relationship between the two main protagonists is subsequently cute and respectful. Nice description of thoughts and feelings. Also more profund a bond they share than previous 2nd book, in which the paladin had much more going on between the legs than in the heart and showed more interested in Clara's breasts than her personality.
I also loved the guard person character (unsure about spelling: Earstripe?), great voice action and dialogues! and the thoughtfull and kind concern for their people's rights from his friends. It was nice seeing Clara again, even if briefly. She has a great impressive personality.
Great book
