It's not. The first book in the series is called Jhereg. It was originally published in 1983. The main character is a human named Vlad Taltos who lives on a world primarily populated by elves. He's a hitman for the equivalent of the mob in the area he works in. He's also a local mob boss. But the stories are primarily about him solving mysteries. They're interesting books. The most recent one was released today in hard cover. I just downloaded it on my Kindle.

The element that really does appeal to me is he has the dragonlike creature I mentioned in my previous post and they have a psychic link and Loiosh, the creature's name, is very sarcastic. It's like having the class clown in your head, but no one else can hear the joke, so you know you can't bust out laughing.
