Absalom

Inspector Harry Absalom is an old-school copper - curmudgeonly antiauthoritarian, he's been with the force for over forty years. Suffering from an inoperable cancer, he's also the head of a special squad that enforces The Accord, a diplomatic treaty made in the sixteenth century between the throne of England and the powers of Hell. A TOUCH OF HELLFIRE! Old, irreverent and doomed by supernatural forces, hard-nosed copper Detective Inspector Harry Absalom is tasked with upholding the Accord – the treaty between the British Royalty and the forces of Hell. A religious fanatic is killing illegal demonic hosts, upsetting both sides of the Accord… to prevent all-out war, Absalom and his psychotic ex-boss the Guv’nor need to catch the perpetrator before it’s too late! With his grandchildren held hostage to keep him in line, Harry will need all the help he can get his hands on! Especially when he discovers the sort of place they’re being kept… This is the second collection in Gordon Rennie and Tiernen Trevallion’s Absalom series
