The Philosophical Strangler — Eric Flint

A HANDS-ON LOW FANTASY ADVENTURE

When the mighty Greyboar, professional strangler, discovers The Supreme Philosophy Of Life, he becomes a new man--but just how can a villain in good standing pay the bills with all this philosophical exploration getting in the way? That's what his hardheaded agent and manager Ignace wants to know!

Then Greyboar's long-lost sister asks him to help persecuted dwarves escape from their human oppressors. It's a noble cause, one which no self- respecting murderer would let himself get caught up in. But in the pursuit of philosophy, anything is permissible....
