So Tara Abernathy, a junior associate from Kelethres, Albrecht, and Ao whose whole professional future depends on success, gets called in to help with the resurrection of Kos, a recently-deceased god. This book basically has necromantic wizard lawyers dealing with contract law with gods. Set in a phenomenally built world in which justice is a collective force bestowed on a few, craftsmen fly on lightning bolts, and gargoyles can rule cities, Three Parts Dead introduces readers to an ethical landscape in which the line between right and wrong blurs. When Tara and Abelard discover that Kos was murdered, they have to make a case in Alt Coulumb's courts-and their quest for the truth endangers their partnership, their lives, and Alt Coulumb's slim hope of survival. Her only help: Abelard, a chain-smoking priest of the dead god, who's having an understandable crisis of faith. Tara's job: resurrect Kos before chaos sets in. Without Him, the metropolis's steam generators will shut down, its trains will cease running, and its four million citizens will riot. Her client is Kos, recently deceased fire god of the city of Alt Coulumb. "A god has died, and it's up to Tara, first-year associate in the international necromantic firm of Kelethres, Albrecht, and Ao, to bring Him back to life before His city falls apart.
