[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 768242, member: 3649"] You mean, magic in a modern setting, or the magic/detective cross? Magic/Detective Tanya Huff -- Blood Price, Blood Trail, Blood Lines, Blood Pact, Blood Debt. Victoria 'Victory' Nelson, Toronto homicide detective forced to be a private investigator because of a progressive vision problem, stumbles onto Henry Fitzroy, 450 year old illegitimate son of Henry VIII, and vampire. He becomes her partner of sorts and the pair look into bizarre crimes around Toronto. Kind of like a calmer, less psychotic Anita Blake without the kinky lycanthrope sex. Randall Garret -- The Lord Darcy series. Lord Darcy is a Sherlock-like detective in an alternate 1970's that looks more like Victorian times, where magic works. His parter, Scottish sorcerer Sean O'Lochlainn, helps him solve crimes in a world where Richard the Lion-Hearted did not die in 1199 but went on to create the most stable empire in history.
