Jasper Fforde meets Len Deighton. Any book that references both Half Man Half Biscuit and Delta Green RPG has to be a winner.
Being picky, the female characters are possibly less well described than their male equivalents and the story gets a bit rushed and trips over itself during the action sequences. Overall a good yarn, written with wit and style. Will definitely investigate the other books. Have also backed the Laundry Files RPG kickstarter
