Product Description

Review

'You'll be up all night finishing this one.' Richard Morgan;'Fast, fun and furious, worth it for the final joke alone.' THE GUARDIAN; 'Witty, deadpan and shudderingly noir ... Carey drives this thriller like Chandler at the wheel of a runaway hearse' DAILY EXPRESS; 'Entertaining, well-paced, intelligently plotted and full of memorable characters' THE TIMES; 'A stunning supernatural thriller ... here, I guarantee, is one of the best books you'll read this year!' SF REVU.COM

Product Description

Before he died, Castor's fellow exorcist John Gittings made several calls asking for help and if Castor had answered them, John might still be alive. So when a smooth-talking lawyer comes out of nowhere to claim the remains, Castor owes it to John's unhappy ghost and even more unhappy widow to help out. If only life were that simple. A brutal murder in King's Cross bears all the hallmarks of an American serial killer supposedly forty years dead, and it takes more good sense than Castor possesses not to get involved. He's also fighting a legal battle over the body - if not the soul - of his possessed friend, Rafi, and can't shake the feeling that his three problems are related. With the help of the succubus Juliet, paranoid zombie data-fence Nicky Heath and a little judicious digging, Castor just might have a chance of fitting the pieces together before someone drops him down a lift shaft or rips his throat out. Or not...

4.0 out of 5 stars Series keeps getting better, 3 May 2009

By	Mr. N. Avenell "aquarionics" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The more of this series I read, the better it gets. If you like the Dresden Files, you'll like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hold Onto Your Hats (and other bits), 13 Aug 2008

By	M. J. Saxton (Dewsbury, West Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the best of Mike Carey's Felix Castor novels to date. The hero hasn't changed much from when we first met him in "The Devil You Know", but is becoming a more refined character in every novel.
He is a hero in the sense that the reader wants him to win through and will turn a blind eye to his faults for the sake of the greater good.

The character of Juliet now has much more depth. The writer has taken her on a much more detailed journey over the past two novels. This book is better for having more of her in it and she makes a great action heroine who propels most of the big set pieces.

Reading this is like seeing the outline of a movie, it taps into the awareness of modern cinema, probably because of Casey's understanding of writing for that medium. It's the paper equivalent of an action movie.

The story hauls you along from one point of action to another. Description is vivid, characters revealing and easy to visualise. There is an emotional depth in the writing as well that engages the reader on an empathic level even though we can have no experience of such a story.

Can't wait for the next one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 18 Sep 2007

By	Duncan Howorth (Chester UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not unputdownable but pretty damn near.

Familiar territory trodden in North London - East Finchley, Mile End, Stoke Newington - lovely sense of place - I wonder where he based Mount Grace Cemetary on ?
Familiar characters take a look in but we get to know more about Juliet who has a very hard time, and are introduced to drum notation.
It still reads like a cross between Chandler and Dr Taverner (from the novels of Dion Fortune) - and this feels like his best in this series yet.
It follows firmly in the footsteps of Vicious Circle and the Devil You Know.
I wonder if in future tales the ground will move to Liverpool ? More familiar for the author - yet not as occult a city (to my mind) as London is.
