What's not to like about Death's Heretic by James Sutter? Nothing that I can see. Sutter comes an epic mystery of murder and immortality, set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Together, the two must embark on a tour of the Outer Planes, where devils and angels rub shoulders with fey lords and mechanical men, and nothing is as it seems.įrom noted author and game designer James L. There's only one problem: The investigation is being financed by the dead merchant's stubborn and aristocratic daughter-and she wants to go with him. But who could steal a soul from the boneyard of Death herself ? Enter Salim, whose unique skills should make solving this mystery a cinch. The only clue is a magical ransom note offering to trade the merchant's spirit for his dose of the fabled potion. Such is the case in the desert nation of Thuvia, where a merchant on the verge of achieving eternal youth via a magical elixir is mysteriously murdered, his soul stolen from the afterlife. A warrior haunted by his past, Salim is a problem-solver for a church he hates, bound by the death goddess to hunt down those who would rob her of her due.
