The Unhappy Medium 2 by Timothy James Brown

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.
