Mystery, horror, and the paranormal collide in this gripping urban fantasy from the Uncanny Kingdom. ‘My name is Jake Fletcher, and since I popped my clogs and came back as a phantom, I’ve made a career out of solving Camden Town’s grisliest murders. This case is about to lead me into some unfamiliar territory though… some very unfamiliar territory. Unlike my previous clients, the person enlisting my services this time isn’t a ghost. Matter of fact, she isn’t even the one who needs my help, it’s her kid brother I’ve been hired to rescue. And now here’s the real kicker: the kid’s not a ghost either, his soul went south years back. That’s right, the person I’ve agreed to save is already doing penance in damnation, which only raises the question, if the reason I’m doing all this is to get into Heaven, why am I about to walk into Hell?’ In the spirit of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files and Simon R.Green’s Nightside series, Bussell builds a world where supernatural forces conspire against the living, and the only person who can stop them winning is a dead man. Read Twice Damned now for a page-turning detective story with a twist. less
