Prosper's Demon K. J. Parker St Martin's Press

An exorcist\'s methods aren\'t delicate but they\'re undeniably effective: he\'ll get the demon out-he just doesn\'t particularly care what happens to the person. His target, Prosper of Schanz is a man of science, determined to raise the world\'s first philosopher-king, reared according to the purest principles. Too bad he\'s possessed. In this pitch dark witty fantasy, Parker deftly creates a world with vivid, unbending rules, seething with demons, broken faith, and bad men. Prosper\'s Demon cheerfully and acidly excavates some of Western literature\'s deepest tropes-from Plato\'s Philosopher King to Marlowe and Goethe on Doctor Faustus and Mephistopheles-with infernal flair.
