MaRa: Dark Spirit Of The Painted Neko - MaRa, #1

The first book in the electrifyingly funny psychological thriller sure to rattle your bones and make you spit out your morning coffee. Full of lore and laughs, John Mills's conversational masterpiece and debut works introduces you to the world of Gaia. A supranational political eco-system co-habited by Spirits and Mortals. When the newly wed couple Ben Nevis and Liu Yang return to the United Kingdom to begin their life anew, their lives are upended upon the arrival of a mysterious celestial azure cat, heralding an elephant that falls from the sky.
It's all down hill from there. Soon they are thrust into a fiendish and bizarre enigma of paranormal death, parallel realities, consequence and misfortune. At the behest of an ambassador to the Gods able to manipulate the Waters of Time, the work of an ambitious Detective Sergeant and the antagonisation from a clandestine agency, amongst a cast of zany, unforgettable characters, Ben will discover he has been harbouring an archaic entity in his living room. A destructive, tormenting spirit interned within the paint of a Maneki-Neko.
Able to manipulate the will of humans and create bizarre, obscene havoc of all types. With nothing but his wit, and the occasional fart up his backside, Ben will understand his place in a destiny thousands of years in the making. Hopefully before it's too late. A lesson to be learned that Divine Intervention might not always be a good thing.
