Diplomancer

by Steve K. Peacock

When her friend and colleague dies, his soul apparently being struck from his body by supernatural means, the show of total indifference demonstrated by the emergency services forces Miranda Ertras to start her own investigation. With his untimely death making it impossible for her to apologise for an earlier argument, Miranda takes it upon herself to uncover the real cause of death and try to clear her conscience. Teaming up with her former boss, university professor and retired assassin Raoul Fury, Miranda finds herself stumbling into a world of magic and ancient conspiracies fuelled by forgotten texts. Can the pair of them work together long enough to unravel a conspiracy that threatens to unmake the world itself? Can they stop a man armed with the very power of creation?

Really good book. Didnt even realise it existed. Found it after the main characters of this book had a cameo in the latest Millie thatcher book ( Eat the Rich). Seems as though a fair bit has happened to these characters between this book and Eat the rich. Would like to of read more of this. But still good as a standalone.
