Description

Now in A format.

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

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.
