"Do you love Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series? How about the Rivers of London series by Ben Abronovith? Like a bit of John Le Carre intrigue? If so, you will LOVE The Devil's Evidence." -- Starburst Magazine

â€œWith the character of Fool, SimonÂ Kurt Unsworth has crafted a hero among the damned.â€Â â€”HUGH HOWEY,Â NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WOOL

Thomas Foolâ€”the resilient investigator doomedÂ to catalog Hellâ€™s atrocities in Simon KurtÂ Unsworthâ€™s stunning debut, The Devilâ€™s Detectiveâ€”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 andÂ angel, and now he faces his most thrilling and complexÂ challenge.
Â Â Â Troubling and deadly fires are spreading throughout Hell, and it is Foolâ€™s job to sift the ashes and find their source. The clues he finds are mysterious andÂ unsettling, implying something different from theÂ usual litany of cruelty he sees. But one fact is the mostÂ disconcerting: the fires have left his masters at theÂ Bureaucracy terrified.
Â Â Â 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 Hellâ€™s own. When hisÂ arrival coincides with the discovery of an impossible murder, he faces a catastrophic paradox. Violence,Â corruption, and fear are Hellâ€™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.
Â Â Â The Devilâ€™s Evidence is an exotic crime thriller asÂ exhilarating as anything in recent fiction. It is a provocative novel of horror, filled with sharp twists and propulsive action that will keep you riveted through the final page.
