曼徹斯特最古怪的報社再度出動。C. K. McDonnell《The Stranger Times》系列第三集，延續前作的怪奇風格與機智對白，讓超自然事件與人間煩惱並肩上演。
本書中，主編Banecroft深信亡妻仍在人世，當線索浮現，他的執念幾近失控。另一邊，副主編Hannah選擇離職，投入華麗卻可疑的靈修團體。報社內外接連發生難以解釋的怪事：不存在的人消失了，天使變得危險，陰謀在暗處醞釀。
在笑聲與荒謬情節之中，本書也描繪角色對愛情與失去的執著。節奏迅速、情節層層堆疊，讀來輕快卻暗藏深意，為系列增添更多瘋狂與溫度。
The third novel in C K McDonnell's hugely original, fast-paced, very funny and critically acclaimed Manchester-set series revolving around the investigations of The Stranger Times newspaper into the weird, the spooky and the supernatural!
An addictive, wonderfully dark and laugh-out-loud funny urban fantasy novel with loveable, magical characters, sinister beings and strange goings-on!
'Brilliant and bananas . . . we loved it' MAGIC RADIO
‘Wonderfully dark, extremely funny’ ADAM KAY, on The Stranger Times
Love can be a truly terrible thing.
Marriages are tricky at the best of times, especially when one of you is dead.
Vincent Banecroft, the irascible editor of The Stranger Times, has never believed his wife died despite emphatic evidence to the contrary. Now, against all odds, it seems he may actually be proved right; but what lengths will he go to in an attempt to rescue her?
With Banecroft distracted, the shock resignation of assistant editor, Hannah Willis, couldn't have come at a worse time. It speaks volumes that her decision to reconcile with her philandering ex-husband is only marginally less surprising than Banecroft and his wife getting back together. In this time of crisis, is her decision to swan off to a fancy new-age retreat run by a celebrity cult really the best thing for anyone?
As if that wasn't enough, one of the paper's ex-columnists has disappeared, a particularly impressive trick seeing as he never existed in the first place.
Floating statues, hijacked ghosts, homicidal cherubs, irate starlings, Reliant Robins and quite possibly several deeply sinister conspiracies; all-in-all, a typical week for the staff of The Stranger Times.
