‘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.
