Synopsis

"Gladstone has created an amazing world....Combining murder mystery, corporate intrigue, and thaumaturgical fireworks, *Three Parts Dead* gives us not just an excellent urban fantasy, but [also] a brilliant new world to explore. I can't wait to see what he does next." **--Margaret Ronald, author of *Spiral Hunt*** A God has died, and it's up to Tara, first-year associate in the international necromantic firm of Kelethres, Albrecht, and Ao, to bring Him back to life before His city falls apart. Her client is Kos, recently deceased fire god of the city of Alt Coulumb. Without Him, the metropolis's steam generators will shut down, its trains will cease running, and its four million citizens will riot. Tara's job: resurrect Kos before chaos set sin. Her only help is Abulard, a chain-smoking priest of the dead God, who's having an understandable crisis of faith. But when the duo discover that Kos was murdered, they have to make a case in Alt Coulumb's courts--and their quest for the truth endangers their partnership, their lives, and Alt Coulumb's hope of survival. This description comes from the publisher.
