About this ebook
LONDON CAN DRAIN THE LIFE OUT OF YOU . . .
Bob Howard is an intelligence agent working his way through the ranks of the top secret government agency known as 'the Laundry'. When occult powers threaten the realm, they'll be there to clean up the mess - and deal with the witnesses.
There's one kind of threat that the Laundry has never come across in its many decades, and that's vampires. Mention them to a seasoned agent and you'll be laughed out of the room.
But when a small team of investment bankers at one of Canary Wharf's most distinguished financial institutions discovers an arcane algorithm that leaves them fearing daylight and craving O positive, someone doesn't want the Laundry to know. And Bob gets caught right in the middle.

Very cool. Chic canban geek meets vampires. Ancient tale with plenty of techo pop culture. Unique, fun, well written, great flow and ending. Well done!

Another installment in Bob Howard's nightmare career. Brilliant as always, no discernable drop in quality, and a tight Möbius strip plot. Finished it in two days flat, which is my main objection to Stross' stuff- I end up reading them to quickly!

Big change in pace for the laundry series. Less introducing the world and more CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN type action.
