- Summary
- Welcome to hell...where skinless demons patrol the lakes and the waves of Limbo wash against the outer walls, while the souls of the Damned float on their surface, waiting to be collected. When an unidentified, brutalised body is discovered, the case is assigned to Thomas Fool, one of Hell's detectives, known as 'Information Men'. But how do you investigate a murder where death is commonplace and everyone is guilty of something?
- Summary
- In The Devil's Detective, Hell takes the form of a really, really unpleasant city, marked by bad smells, dim light, bizarrely terrible public transit, and worse. Although there are no real consequences for rule-breaking in Hell, it's Thomas Fool's job to catalog Hell's rules and track violations. However, when an especially nasty murder happens occurs right after a delegation from heaven arrives, there's Hell to pay -- and only one Fool to solve the crime. An appealing, believable noir-style protagonist combined with richly conceived world-building makes this hardboiled horror mash-up a devilish delight. -- Description by Katherine Bradley Johnson
