Just finished "Thraxas and the Warrior Monks" by Martin Scott, the 2nd book in the "Thraxas" series (it's published by Baen as an omnibus edition in the same volume as the first book, "Thraxes"). Thraxas is a down-at-heel private investigator, failed sorcerer, and former mercenary in the hopelessly corrupt city of Turai. This book sees him take on the case of an apprentice sculptor accusing of murdering his master, and try to find the religious statue which disappeared at the time as the murder. In the course of the investigation Thraxas gets caught up in the rivalry between two rivals sects of Warrior Monks who are both looking for the statue and think that Thraxas knows more than he's letting on.

Another fun fantasy romp. Well worth reading, especially considering that you get both this and the previous book for $6, DRM-free, from Baen.
