Proud, rational, and spectacularly wrong, Dr. Newton Barlow has just lost everything -- his career, his reputation, and his marriage. Drinking his way into obscurity, the last thing he expects is a visit from Dr Sixsmith, his old mentor, with an offer he can't refuse.

There's just one problem.

Sixsmith is dead.

Dragged into a world he'd spent his life denying, Barlow is forced to confront murderous inquisitors, corrupt developers, heavily armed vicars, and terrible things that refuse to stay buried.

To save this world and the next, he may have to abandon everything he ever believed in.

No wonder he's unhappy.

In the tradition of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London -- blending sharp wit, supernatural chaos, and darkly comic British storytelling.
