"A mad god owed him money!
Mister Lewis has a business card that reads “Physics Consultant,” but that’s something of an in-joke. What he really consults on are things that defy the laws of physics, go bump in the night and dine on the souls of the living.
Taking a political client on a referral, Mister Lewis discovers that not every Asgardian is as deceased as the legends would have you believe. A discovery that leaves him with a dead client and an unpaid bill.
The trail to collect that debt winds through a scheme to trade blood sacrifices for student loan payments, industrial espionage from beyond the grave, employee age limits, rent control worth killing for and politicians who do not exist as the last Asgardian tries to re-establish his religion.
It's a sarcasm-drenched escapade to settle up accounts across an absurdist landscape of ghosts, warlocks, gods and Human Resources.
A snarkier entry in the territories of The Dresden Files, Rivers of London, Laundry Files, Sandman Slim, Charlie Parker and Hellblazer."
"What's the lifetime value of a dead customer?
In a desperate bid to prevent being ousted from his own company, a start-up founder accidentally draws the attention of necromancers looking to protect their secrets.
Occult attention spills over from the founder to his shady investor, whose entire portfolio becomes infested as a food delivery app delivers to vampires, a dating app transmigrates souls, and social media influencer's video game creates literal zombie followers.
Are the apps cursed, or is something even worse in play?
It's tale of death and revenge set against a sardonic landscape of tech start-ups and venture capital as Mister Lewis tries to prevent metaphysically weaponized greed from burning down the world."
"An attempt to blow the whistle on a cryptocurrency scam drew a response: a botched assassination attempt by supernatural means.
Management brought in a consultant to 'fix' the problem, but a trail of scorch marks from incinerated bodies leads into a web of demonic financial crimes, purloined precious metals and eSports game fixing. What is the secret of the 'Schatzhorde des Drachen' coin and will it lead Mister Lewis into the lair of… The Dragon Who Dabbled in Crypto?
It's an acerbic race to unravel a fiscal conspiracy and the markets aren't the only things melting down from mysterious flames."
