Found it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Darcy_(fiction) it wasn't harold - it was Richard who didn't die http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1512335 And, to answer that burning question. Yes, I signed up 3+ years ago, and just now made my first post. I was looking to contact a friend at Obsidian after the fall of Interplay, and only now saw the need to post.

I'm in desperate need of help . .. no, that that kind. I'm looking for a specific book. The story was an urban fantasy set in a world where Harold survived the crossbow bolt to his eye at Hastings which resulted in more magic in the world. The setting is a detective novel, and I thought it was in the 1930s of this alternative history. I do remember the cover being a male hand on a back ground with a pentagram on the palm. There was one sequel.
