    About this ebook

    Ex-adventurer Max Gibson knows he's found trouble when he stumbles out of his favorite tavern and into a murder scene, but when he realizes that both the victim and the blood-spattered orc kneeling over her are old friends of his, it gets far worse. Arrested as an accomplice to the crime, Gibson must work fast to find out what really happened and clear his name before his still-living friend pays the ultimate price.

    "Goblintown Justice" is the first published story in Matt Forbeck's Shotguns & Sorcery setting, the inspiration for a trilogy of novels being funded through Kickstarter. These will form the second part of his 12 for '12 plan in which he writes a novel each month in 2012.
