Synopsis
Promoted to management within the Laundry—Britain’s secret occult intelligence agency—computational demonologist Bob Howard is assigned to External Assets. His department manages volatile freelance operatives for sensitive off-the-books operations. When Ray Schiller, an American faith-healing televangelist, infiltrates the Prime Minister’s inner circle, External Assets deploys the brilliant and unpredictable Persephone Hazard to investigate. Tasked with keeping Persephone in line, Bob quickly realizes the mission is no longer about preventing a political scandal, but stopping an occult catastrophe the Laundry cannot contain.
