Synopsis

'Tom Holt may be the most imaginative satirist to land on our shores since Douglas Adams' - Christopher Moore

'Holt has a zany humor that will appeal to fans of Terry Pratchett and Christopher Moore.' - Library Journal

Monsters are roaming the streets of London. Of course, some monsters are scarier than others:

Unicorns? No bother.
Vampires? Big deal.
Werewolves? Ho hum.

Lawyers? ... Aaargh!

Duncan's boss doesn't think that he's cut out to be a lawyer. He isn't a pack animal. He lacks the killer instinct. But when his best friend from school barges his way back into Duncan's life, with a full supporting cast of lawyers, ex-wives, zombies and snow-white unicorns, it's not long before things become distinctly unsettling.
Hairy, even.

Tom Holt's latest comic novel is a rollercoaster ride of supernatural silliness and biting satire.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Tom Holt was born in London in 1961. At Oxford he studied bar billiards, ancient Greek agriculture and the care and feeding of small, temperamental Japanese motorcycle engines. These interests led him, perhaps inevitably, to qualify as a solicitor and emigrate to Somerset, where he specialised in death and taxes for seven years before going straight in 1995. He lives in Chard, Somerset, with his wife and daughter. He also writes as K. J. Parker.
