Gumnil's Deception — Robert G. Ferrell

The reluctant goblin demigod Sir Tol of Sebacea is hot on the trail of an elusive criminal who somehow managed to compromise the most secure facility on the planet--a trail that leads to...well, let's just say unexpected places.

Meanwhile, his sister-in-law the Tragacanthan Royal Consort is uncovering the tangled, sinister threads of a 900 year-old crime spree the solution to which will change the face of society forever.

Stir in a megalomaniac mage who has discovered a heinous means to immortality and the stage is set for the kind of slapdashery only N'plork can provide.
