Sam Bowen, hedge wizard and troubleshooter-for-hire, has managed to successfully navigate the dangers of San Cibola's Chinatown, fulfill his obligations to his adopted family, and tame a couple of his personal demons. There's just one thing remaining: that nagging curse hanging over his head that will destroy his whole family if he doesn't figure out how to reverse it. It's too bad that Bowen has other distractions to deal with; feuding with Robert Stonehill, playing poker with dead authors and meeting other Neighborhood personalities is keeping him up at night. If getting shot with Cupid's arrow wasn't bad enough, he's got to battle a rogue rakshasa, an undead army, and worse Bowen's Bluff picks up right where Year of the Hare left off, with Sam up to his neck in trouble again, collecting the remaining Sam Bowen stories set in San Cibola in book form for the first time, and includes the shocking ending you won't want to miss
