The Fuller Memorandum

Bob Howard is an IT specialist and field agent for the Laundry, the branch of Her Majesty s secret service that deals with occult threats.

Overworked and underpaid, Bob is used to his two jobs overflowing from a strict nine to five and, since his wife Mo has a very similar job description, he understands that work will sometimes follow her home, too. But when work involves zombie assassins and minions of a mad god's cult, he realises things are spinning out of control.

When a top-secret dossier goes missing and his boss Angleton is implicated, Bob must contend with suspiciously helpful Russian intelligence operatives and an unscrupulous apocalyptic cult before confronting the decades-old secret that lies at the heart of the Laundry: what is so important about the missing Fuller Memorandum? And why are all the people who know dying?

“Brilliantly disturbing and funny at the same time”

-- Ben Aaronovitch, author of RIVERS OF LONDON
Charles Stross owns this field, and his vast, cool intellect has launched yet another mad, sly entertainment that will strangle the hell out of anything else on offer right now -- Warren Ellis, author of Transmetropolitan
Stross at the top of his game - which is to say, few do it better -- KIRKUS
Alternately chilling and hilarious -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ferociously enjoyable -- SFX
