Summary
A
god has died, and it’s up to Tara, first-year
associate in the international necromantic firm of
Kelethres, Albrecht, and Ao, to bring Him back to life
before His city falls apart.
Her client is Kos, recently
deceased fire god of the city of Alt Coulumb. Without
Him, the metropolis’s steam generators will shut
down, its trains will cease running, and its four million
citizens will riot.
Tara’s job: resurrect Kos
before chaos sets in. Her only help: Abelard, a
chain-smoking priest of the dead god, who’s having
an understandable crisis of faith.
When Tara and Abelard discover
that Kos was murdered, they have to make a case in Alt
Coulumb’s courts—and their quest for the
truth endangers their partnership, their lives, and Alt
Coulumb’s slim hope of survival.
Set in a phenomenally built
world in which justice is a collective force bestowed on
a few, craftsmen fly on lightning bolts, and gargoyles
can rule cities, Three Parts Dead introduces readers to
an ethical landscape in which the line between right and
wrong blurs.
