Read Starlight Over Detrot with me.

The story is about.

Monster attacks. Crime. Illegal hallucinogens made from electric fruit.

They say things didn't use to be like this. They say things were different, before Luna came back 60 years ago, but Detective Hard "Hardy" Boiled of the Detrot Police Department has never known any world other than that demarcated by the seedy streets of his beloved decaying metropolis; a world in which the coroners sing and dance, surveillance bugs have personality disorders, and the Chief of Police is a scarier entity than most of the eldritch things the city attracts.

The grey unicorn who turned up dead outside the posh High Step Hotel seemed like just another case, but her missing horn is the pointy tip of a very large and nasty iceberg. It's up to Hardy and his friends - a rejected monster hunter, a psychic cab driver, and an underground antiques heir - to find out what’s going on in an investigation that promises to stick more than a cupcake into the very eye of Detrot.

Especially if Hardy has anything to say about it.

“They charge in moonlight and fire a beam which can slice through wood, brick, and police issue armor like it was warm butter.”

“The reason they remained mere prototypes is that their effective range is about five meters,” he replied, holding his hooves close together. “Very short. Somewhere after that, the beam becomes moonlight again. A glorified flashlight.”

It is unfortunate that many ponies do not choose to avail themselves of such knowledge, except in emergencies; More than one librarian has been flummoxed by time-sensitive requests to cross-reference "Grain Thresher" and "That pink nubbly thing what supposed to be in Granny's torso."
