The Wrong Dead Guy

In the fast-paced sequel to The Everything Box, Richard Kadrey thrusts Coop, a reformed master thief now working for the Department of Peculiar Science, into a whirlwind of chaos when a lovesick ancient Egyptian mummy escapes after a heist gone wrong. Tasked with recovering the powerful mummy Harkhuf before its unsettling magic wreaks havoc, Coop dives into a wild chase filled with head-hunting bureaucrats, undead mailroom clerks, and mystical adversaries, all while exploring Harkhuf's quest to resurrect his long-lost lover—a warrior sorceress bent on world domination. As Coop navigates this bizarre landscape, he grapples with the responsibilities of heroism and his desire for answers and a raise.
