Ex-Cop turned Private Investigator Robert Hoskins always enjoyed the stories his grandmother told him as a child, stories of the Dryad that lived in the tree, the Faeries in the garden, and the magical world that was created in his imagination. He always enjoyed them; he just never thought that they were true. Robert's childhood world of magic becomes real when a chance encounter with a local casino mob boss introduces him to the world he was born into, the world that was hidden from him, the world of the Fae. But he's not easily convinced. From disbelief to acceptance, Robert encounters a...

Inhaltsangabe: Problemstellung: Kaum ein Gesetzgebungsverfahren hat in den letzten Jahren so viel Aufsehen erregt wie das des „Steuerentlastungsgesetzes 1999/2000/2002"(StEntlG). Obwohl die eingefuhrten Neuregelungen in Fachkreisen und unter den Betroffenen zu ausgiebigen Diskussionen und teilweise massiven Druck der Branche gefuhrt haben, sind erhebliche Bedenken gegen diese Manahmen und Anderungen verblieben. Auf der verzweifelten Suche nach immer neuen Einnahmequellen sind die Schadenruckstellungen der deutschen Vers.-wirtschaft ( 125 Mrd. DM), welche immerhin ungefahr 77% der...

You see plenty of strange things when you're a P.I. in Las Vegas, but even that couldn't prepare ex-cop Robert Hoskins for what was to come. At first he couldn't believe that all those stories he'd been told as a child were true. But hearing that the Fae had taken the casinos over from the mob was something else. Elves, Dwarves, Werewolves and Faeries were just the beginning and battling dark Mages, the opening act. Having banished his enemy to the cold hell of Tartarus he'll now have to travel to the Fae lands to claim his birthright. Along the way, and after, there's Demons and Dragons to...

Ex-cop and P.I., Robert Hoskins knows some cases are tougher than others, especially when dark magic is involved. A call from the local pack master about some missing Weres is more than it seems.

What magic force has opened the portals and why is it travelling through the Hells of the Underworld releasing Demons in its wake? Robert needs old friends and new allies to find out. But knowing what the problem is...

It was a remake, a film based on another one, starring Hollywood stars such as Daniel Craig and Christopher Plummer and attracting a bit more medial attention than usual.
