Valhalla
'Valhalla' is about a bunch of people who get what they deserve in the afterlife... more accurately, it's about the way we see ourselves, and the problems we create for ourselves by not facing up to who we really are. Actually, it's about 22 cm X 14 cm X 3cm, assuming you're buying the hardback.

The back of the book says:
When great warriors die, their reward is eternal life in Odin's great hall, Valhalla. But Valhalla has changed and like any corporation has adapted to survive. Unfortunately nothing could have prepared it for the arrival of currently-dead cocktail waitress Carol Kortright, who is not at all happy.

Quote from Nothing But Blue Skies
If you hadn't noticed, I'm the pub loony around here. This is my turf, and if there's any gibbering to be done, I'm the one who does it. If you want to gibber, find another bar.

(Tom Holt, "Nothing But Blue Skies")
