Tom Fool

Try working for the afterlife.

For Dr Newton Barlow, life on the frontlines between good and evil is beginning to drag. With Purgatory a mess of hopeless bureaucracy, banal amateurism and unreliable excitement, he's beginning to crave a challenge. Something big.

Something big duly arrives in the form of a crime; a robbery so cunning, so utterly diabolical, that Barlow and the bumbling Purgatorians are going to have to find a way around their trademark inefficiency, or lose a lot more than their expense accounts.

But, with his girlfriend pushing for a slice of the paranormal action, his gothic daughter caught in the crossfire with his ex-wife, and an in-tray full of humiliating ghost hunts, the ever-snarky Dr Barlow is finding himself spread thinner than road kill.

Headless horsemen, missing links, killer drones and a sinister jester with uncertain allegiances; Tom Fool is another rollicking supernatural comedy from the writer of The Unhappy Medium.
