Synopsis
ORCA is the seventh to be published, but is actually the eighth book in the timeline of the VLAD TALTOS series. As this hardboiled fantasy opens, the ex-crimelord and ex-assassin is still attempting to evade the hired killers of the Jhereg, the criminal organization he quit in a rather spectacular fashion. Vlad is now traveling with a nearly catatonic young man, Savn, who got that way when he saved Vlad's life. In exchange for an old woman's sorcerous attempts to heal Savn, Vlad agrees to recover the deed to her house. Naturally, as per usual with matters involving Vlad, the situation is vastly more complicated than it first appears, with implications reaching to the highest levels of the Dragaeran Empire. The mysterious Kiera the Thief, Vlad's old friend, lends a hand in uncovering the plot, and, in the process, reveals more than one secret of her own.

Publisher's Note
Granted, walking around with two jhereg on your shoulders is not the best disguise for an ex-assassin wanted all over the Empire. But a young boy saved his life and then needs help, Vlad Taltos pays his debt--even if it means uncovering a financial scandal big enough to bring down the House of the Orca and the entire Empire.

Industry Reviews
"Imagine James Bond in a world of magic...exciting!"
Sheffiels

"Vlad is an engaging wisecracking hard-boiled sort of character...bright, bracing with an appealing sardonic edge."
Sheffiels
