For outstanding heroism in the field (despite himself), computational
demonologist Bob Howard is on the fast track for promotion to management
within the Laundry, the supersecret British government agency tasked
with defending the realm from occult threats. Assigned to External
Assets, Bob discovers the company (unofficially) employs freelance
agents to deal with sensitive situations that may embarrass Queen and
Country.
So when Ray Schiller--an American televangelist with the uncanny ability
to miraculously heal the ill--becomes uncomfortably close to the Prime
Minister, External Assets dispatches the brilliant, beautiful, and
entirely unpredictable Persephone Hazard to infiltrate the Golden
Promise Ministries and discover why the preacher is so interested in
British politics. And it's Bob's job to make sure Persephone doesn't
cause an international incident.
But it's a supernatural incident that Bob needs to worry about--a global
threat even the Laundry may be unable to clean up...
