Evil, Actually

From the author of Death and Other Occupational Hazards comes a darkly humorous novel with a splash of mystery, perfect for fans of KAOS, about a woman who discovers she's Pandora reborn, and now - not only has to deal with a bad breakup and the boss from hell - but has to stop the end of the world.

How much evil does it take to save the world?

Chloe’s problems couldn’t get any bigger. With a bad break-up, a new boss who spends more on spiritual cleansing than salaries, and the fact that the most reliable presence in her life is a rescue goldfish, Chloe thought she had hit rock bottom. That is, until a mugging on her commute ends in disaster—mostly for the mugger—and Chloe discovers that she’s developing dark, uncontrollable powers she definitely doesn’t want.

Even worse, turns out the six Great Evils of legend are real and they’re far more irritating, unpredictable and inconveniently charming than she expected. But, when they start vanishing, it becomes clear something far more dangerous is at play. Someone is hunting them, and Chloe might be the only one able to intervene, due to a secret in her past that she’d rather stay buried.

As society descends into chaos, it’s up to Chloe to navigate the murky corners of the fashion industry, the British Museum’s secret archives and even the heart of government, all before whoever is behind this takes control of the world’s darkness and twists it to their own sinister ends.
