Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. When I was fourteen, a cousin of mine angered a Malignant One." Ellen Pierson's cousin Paul brings his problem and his fear to Ellen, and Ellen turns to famed investigator Alison Birkett for help. For these two novellas, Temporary Agency and Benign Adjustments, Pollack returns to the Living World. In Unquenchable Fire a character says that "there are only two things in the world. Suffering and ecstasy." Here, Pollack explores this theme in a fast-paced, moving story as Ellen, Paul and Alison unwrap first a conspiracy of evil and then one of misguided good. Location E.
This book imagines a world in which the dominant religion, for lack of a better word, is based on spirits, both good and bad. There is even an official government agency that deals with the proper rituals, which seem vaguely based Native American rituals. In this setting, a woman who we first meet as a teenager teams up with a lawyer to uncover unsavory alliances and cover-ups between the government and the spirits.
