''Highly amusing ... Eloquently snarky prose'' - Publishers Weekly

''Inventively entertaining ...make you both laugh out loud and stop and think'' - SFX

When the Supreme Being and his son decide that being supreme isn''t for them any more, it''s inevitable that things get a bit of a shake-up.

It soon becomes apparent that our new owners, the Venturi brothers, have a very different perspective on all sorts of things. Take Good and Evil, for example. For them, it''s an outdated concept that never worked particularly well in the first place.

Unfortunately, the sudden disappearance of right and wrong, while welcomed by some, raises certain concerns amongst those still attached to the previous team''s management style.

In particular, there''s one of the old gods who didn''t move out with the others. A reclusive chap, he lives somewhere up north, and only a handful even believe in him.

But he''s watching. And he really does need to know if you''ve been naughty or nice.

What would happen if good and evil were replaced with a more dynamic system based on sound economic principles? Find out in Tom Holt''s wickedly funny new comic novel!
