It's joyful and funny and sad and flamboyant: everything I always went to Terry Pratchett for' NATASHA PULLEY (on Acts of Cupidity)For agents of the Fortuna Division, being lucky isn't just their blessing, it's their business. Responsible for gifting doses of good fortune to oblivious mortals, they are known for being invincible to disaster. However, when agents of luck start turning up dead, it is clear their own fortunes have taken a bad turn. Agents Erron Grover and Nikita Wolf are recruited to a new team solely tasked with unravelling this mystery, but they face an almost insurmountable challenge. Since the almost-apocalypse, several mortals have developed an uncanny ability to see the auras of agency staff and piece together their role in controlling destiny - and will do anything to reclaim their fate. This is one problem croissants and ice cream cannot solve. Has the Afterlife Agency's luck finally run out? 'The perfect balance of fast paced and fun ... It hit me in the heart with a gold arrow!'

Love cynic Erron Grover and hopeless romantic Casey Hart led very different lives, but their roles as Apollo agents have brought them together in their afterlife. By day they match up pre-destined couples to fulfil their daily quota of assignments; by night they can be found sipping cocktails in their favourite jazz bar. But when several of their missions result in a bizarre series of deaths, they find themselves under suspicion of involvement - and the fabric of reality starts to unravel. Faced with the collapse of civilisation, far too many geese and a few questionable soul reapers, the two men are forced to go on the run to solve the murders and save the world . . .
