Fighter Fred and the Missing Mage Mystery - Fighter Fred, #5

It's time for the boss fight, but the boss isn't home. Fred and his friends charge into the city of Watergate to confront the evil wizard Blackleg. But instead of a big battle, they find an empty house. Maybe they should have made an appointment. Now our heroes are left with a mystery. Where did Blackleg go? Was he murdered? By whom? Fred is a fighter, not a mystery-solver-guy. Fortunately, his friends are here to help:Nightshade, the wannabe detective.
Twilight, the sardonic elven prince. Yellin' Helen, barbarian of the wild steppe. Mak-Thar, the myopic mage. And Wren, the high-level, low-charisma thief. You can be certain that, until Blackleg is brought to justice, Fred's team will never rest! (Only figuratively speaking, of course. Mak-Thar will make them rest every night to avoid fatigue penalties.)-------------------------Fighter Fred and the Missing Mage Mystery is the fifth novel in the Fighter Fred series.
Each story is set in a world where adventure lurks in every wine cellar and assassins lurk in every corner, but only if they made their Hide in Shadows check. For Fighter Fred, it's real life!Looking for Book 1? Read Fighter Fred and the Dungeon of Doom.
