For fans of Terry Pratchett...
Bartholomew Whitlock, mild misanthropist and warlock extraordinaire, has been working in the acquisitions department of The Bearded Syndicate for over a century-and he's exhausted.
Ready to retire, he fakes his own death and retreats to the suburbs with his fluffy demonic familiar. They're convinced nobody would go looking for them there!
But there's one problem-Bartholomew isn't the only magical fugitive in the area. A vampire lives nearby, and too much magical activity is bound to attract attention.
One of them has got to go. Bartholomew is determined that it won't be him.
Is he cunning enough to rally the neighborhood to his side and evict this fanged menace? Or will his shady past prove to be his own undoing?
