The Labyrinth Index by Charles Stross

The novel “The Labyrinth Index” by Charles Stross was published for the first time in 2018. It’s part of the Laundry series and follows “The Delirium Brief”.

The New Management in the UK has brought about a number of changes, including in the agencies that manage occult activities. Mhari Murphy has been elevated to the rank of Baroness but the price for her is high, as one of the new duties the Prime Minister has entrusted to her is that of executioner after the death penalty has been reinstated.

For Mhari Murphy, the situation gets worse when she’s assigned to lead a team of operatives linked to the Laundry on a mission in the USA. Her task is difficult since it’s the extraction of the President, whose existence was suddenly forgotten by the American population.
