  Think your job is purgatory? Try working for the afterlife. 
  For former man of science and very unhappy medium, Dr Newton Barlow, the frontline between good and evil is starting to get old. 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 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 awash with humiliating ghost chases, the ever-snarky Dr Barlow is spread thinner than roadkill. Headless horsemen, missing links, killer drones and a sinister jester, Tom Fool is another rollicking comedy from the writer of The Unhappy Medium. 
  A Perfect dark comedy for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Douglas Adams, Christopher Moore and Jim Butcher . 
  ‘A superb sequel!’  
  ‘… a Pratchett-like quality to the humor, peppered with engaging facts, and a very interesting premise.’  
  ‘Clever, original and hilarious.’  
  ‘Absolutely a standout work!’

  A highly entertaining anecdotal collection of humorous life observations during a trip around the world. Travelling by bus to Kathmandu, the author experiences hair-raising misadventures: a chase through Jerusalem, a gun battle in Jordan, a pummelling by a gargantuan masseur in Istanbul, a python in India, and the terrifying James Bond encounter in Australia. His portrait of an Afghani shopkeeper has a bizarre twist. Time-travelling detours punctuate interesting stories about the Taj Mahal, Sydney Opera House, Tahiti, Easter Island statues and Christ in Rio. More than a travelogue, personal insights and character portrayals are underscored by whimsical humour.
