The Devil in Amber - Mark Gatiss

It's hard not to like Lucifer Box, Secret Agent.

The second story of his daring-dos is set twenty years after the events of The Vesuvius Club, but lack none of the humour, shocks and scandal.

With devil worship, death and buggery throughout the book is certainly not for the faint hearted. 

Betrayed from within the service, and struggling to keep up with events, Box must stop evil facists from summoning the devil himself; and at the same time deal with his wayward sister.

I enjoyed this easy to read engaging sstory - the main character is so likeable, even if that does seem wrong!

I'm looking forward to the third book and hope that if they ever make a film or television adaptation out of them that they do them justice (and that the author plays Box!).
