Summary

An electrifying, witty and brilliantly spooky thriller from a master storyteller, soon to be a major Netflix series

Description

When the dead come back to haunt the living, Lockwood & Co. step in . . .

For more than fifty years, Britain has been terrorised by an epidemic of murderous ghosts. A number of Psychic Investigations Agencies have sprung up to destroy them - with mixed results . . .

Lucy Carlyle, a talented young agent, arrives in London hoping to begin a shining new chapter in her career. Instead she finds herself joining Lockwood & Co., the most ramshackle agency in the city, whose ineptitude is matched only by the charisma of its owner.

But Lockwood & Co. have one last chance for redemption. All they have to do is spend the night in one of the most haunted houses in England . . . and come out alive.

Critic Reviews

“Genuinely spooky and suspenseful . . . all shot through with Stroud's dry wit”

Guardian
One of those books you take with you to the bath . . . Packed with bloodcurdling spectral incident Evening Standard
