Bob Howard thought his days with the Laundry Files were behind him. Then an Elder God seized control of Downing Street and set its sights on Buckingham Palace. The supernatural entity now serving as Prime Minister views the monarchy as the final obstacle to total dominion over Britain. Bob and his partner Mo O'Brien find themselves dragged back into the world of occult espionage they tried to leave. American operatives work their own schemes while vampiric threats multiply across London. Bob and Mo must reunite with old allies from the Laundry one final time. The stakes could not be higher. An ancient cosmic horror controls the government, the Crown faces extinction, and two reluctant agents stand between order and chaos. In this ultimate confrontation, saving the Queen means saving the nation itself.
