After the tragic death of her parents, and with nothing left tying her to the United Kingdom, Ursula Formosa returns to her homeland of Malaysia and a job with the eccentrically-named Singapore firm, “The Check Your Luck Agency”.
What begins as an attempt to stave off boredom turns into a new way of life as the scales drop from Ursula’s eyes and she tentatively enters a realm that contains vengeful ghosts, toyol, demons, pontianak and curses, not to mention old-fashioned fraud and larceny. As she befriends bomohs, mediums and a young woman already centuries old, Ursula’s ideas of friendship expand into a fresh view of the world that surrounds her.
But she isn’t going to be left to ease into things. A criminal mastermind, who is also a powerful sorcerer, is gathering mythical creatures to help him possess every living soul in Singapore, and he isn’t about to let the members of The Check Your Luck Agency stand in his way!
Genre: FICTION / Mystery & Detective / GeneralInitially, this saga was published as series of five books. Since some of our impatient readers complained about cliff hangers at the end of each book, the decision has been made to recompile and publish this urban fantasy in a single - omnibus edition. We still offer the Book #1 for those readers who would like to sample the leading story.
It’s been written for European market audience and/or all people who love to read urban fantasy and enjoy submersing themselves in exoticism of foreign places.
