The Thraxas series by Martin Millar (writing as Martin Scott) runs 13 books, starting with Thraxas (1999). The setup is a classic detective formula dropped into a fantasy city: Thraxas is a private investigator in Turai, a corrupt city-state full of sorcerers, senators, and organized crime. He drinks too much beer, gambles on chariot races, and occasionally solves murders.
His partner Makri is an escaped gladiator of mixed human, elf, and orc heritage who works as a barmaid while studying at university. The first book won the World Fantasy Award in 2000. The series kept going for over two decades, with the most recent entry published in 2022.
