The Healthy Dead: A Tale of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach: The Tales of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, Book Two

Things are going all too well in the city of Quaint. So well in fact that something has to be done. The zeal for goodness can be catastrophic and no-one knows this better than Bauchelain and Korbal Broach two stalwart champions of all things bad. For the innumerable citizens of Quaint driven to neurotic distraction and overwhelmed with good living desperation breeds nefarious bed-mates and before long the two homicidal necromancers and their beleaguered and substance-addled manservant Emancipor Reese find themselves ensnared in a scheme to bring goodness into disrepute if not utter ruination. To Reeses bemusement laudable motivations are in a bizarre twist uncharacteristically relevant to Master Bauchelain although of course the payment of a chest filled with gold helps. Even so sometimes it turns out one must bring down civilization... in the name of civilization.
