“Murder in the Dust: Arcane Investigators, Book One” (2016) by Shaun K. Thornhill revolves around the Arcane Investigators, mages Ross MacTaggert and Rick Logan, as they investigate the slaughter of several sheep attributed to a group of evil men led by an ogre.

Senior Master Mage Ross MacTaggert and his apprentice Rick Logan travel to the village of Sannat to heed the call of the former’s friend, Colonel Hawthorn, to investigate the brutal slaughter of several of his sheep. The Arcane Investigators scour Sannat to uncover clues behind the mysterious livestock slaughter.
