The Fuller Memorandum by Charles Stross (a Laundry Files novel #3). 312 p.
The Laundry is a British government agency that deals with espionage and national security. What they're trying to keep Britain safe from is eldritch horrors intent on destroying the human race. It turns out that using computers to do magic can make magic more powerful and easily controllable, so computer geeks like Bob Howard end up on the front lines. The Laundry books are a mashup of spy thrillers and lovecraftian weirdness, and they're a lot of fun. This one is a bit darker than the earlier ones--Bob's not in very good shape at the end--but still a lot of fun. And quite funny.
