The Casebook of Elisha Grey VII chronicles the work of Elisha Grey, scholar and consulting detective in Atlantis, as recorded by his partner, Kiara Ptolmai. The three novelettes are: "The Runaway Musician and the Return of Lorelei"; "The Deaths at Hanunnah Hot Springs"; and "The Drowned Fisherwomen of Hanunnah". The book follows the previous books in the Casebook of Elisha Grey series. Elisha Grey, scholar in numerous subjects & consulting detective in Atlantis during its Second Era, together with his partner Kiara Ptolmai -- daughter of Menos Ptolmai, Atlantean Ambassador to Chungkuo, investigate three mysteries.
In "The Runaway Musician and the Return of Lorelei", Elisha Grey and Kiara Ptolmai are asked by the constabulary to meet with an underage runaway because she uses the same surname as Kamay Pellay, which indicates she is part Lemurian and may be prone to his psychotic episodes. Shortly afterward, the demiequine multimorph Chiron comes to see Elisha about retrieving his multimorph daughter, Lorelei, from where she has been living in Thebes for several years.
In "The Deaths at Hanunnah Hot Springs", former jewel smuggler Walela Pearl asks for Elisha Grey's help in solving the cause behind unexplained yet natural deaths of Atlanteans who have traveled to crystal mines in Hanunnah, the continent to the west of Atlantis. In "The Drowned Fisherwomen of Hanunnah" Elisha Grey, who has remained in Hanunnah to help establish a constabulary there, finds out that Kiara Ptolmai -- who is carrying their twin daughters -- is having a difficult pregnancy because the souls of the girls in their previous lives were sisters who were drowned while fishing at a contested fishing ground in Hanunnah.
