HUGH HOWEY, "NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF "WOOL" Thomas Fool the resilient investigator doomedto catalog Hell s atrocities in Simon KurtUnsworth s stunning debut, "The Devil s Detective" is back. The man with no memory of who he was or what led to his damnation is now in command of the Information Office of Hell. This power has only inspired new, deadly enemies like Mr. Tap, the cunning leader of a shadowy organization known as the Evidence. Fool alone has survived the wrath of both demon andangel, and now he faces his most thrilling and complexchallenge.
Troubling and deadly fires are spreading throughout Hell, and it is Fool s job to sift the ashes and find their source. The clues he finds are mysterious andunsettling, implying something different from theusual litany of cruelty he sees. But one fact is the mostdisconcerting: the fires have left his masters at theBureaucracy terrified.
In the midst of the chaos, Fool is sent to accompany a political delegation to Heaven. It is unprecedented for a condemned human to enter the land of the elevated, but Fool is protected as one of Hell s own. When hisarrival coincides with the discovery of an impossible murder, he faces a catastrophic paradox. Violence, corruption, and fear are Hell s currency; how does one investigate evil where those concepts cannot exist? Impossible or not, the killings are real, and the evidence leads Fool deep into the contradictions of a visionary landscape, where danger can present itself in any form, and to the heart of a conspiracy with the power to upset the balance of Heaven and Hell.
