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...

5.0 out of 5 stars MR CAREY IS AS GOOD AT WRITING COMICS AS WRITING NOVELS, 16 Sep 2007
By G. Puxley "Glen Puxley - Book Addict" (cambridge, england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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

The story was a carry on from the previous felix castor book vicious circle. This book is as good or even slightly better than the previous book which is unusual for an ongoing book series such as this. The plot is very clever, mainly because the way it comes together at the end. Without out giving to much away it has to do with gangsters and something very like reincarnation but not quiet. I very much enjoyed the way felix and juliet the sex demon relationship is developing in the book. Somehow Mike Carey makes the idea of the undead, ghosts werewolves and the like seem very natural thing to be accuring in the 21st century. One of the ways he does this is by making juliet the demons relationship with Louise seem normal and almost a very normal relationship. Another demon was in this book who was a soul eater and by introducing this character and his past it makes you understand he's idea of how the ranks of hell work. Obviously the character felix castor and mike careys constantine have a lot of similarities, but he's made Felix castor such an individual character by the way he handles the unexplained and how he's attitude deosnt much up with his education. I think this book is another great book from a very good series and can't wait for more novels of felix castor. If you enjoyed his previous castor books or like the supernatural you will love this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Castor carrys on well., 30 Oct 2007
By Gareth Wilson "drosdelnoch2" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The second Castor novel and one that was not only entertaining but allowed a Harry Dresden meets Anita Blake to emerge from the UK. Whilst the protagonist is not female one of the things that Mike does well is that there is no sex within the tale. Wooohhooo, an author who actually cares about the quality of plot rather than his character being flat on his back making the beast with two, three or four or five backs.

Not only creative but a tale that will keep you glued to the last page whilst the exploits of the Felix and his swiftly put together crew keep you wondering exactly how long the character is going to live. Add to the mix a feeling of Alan Moore with a dash of John Constantine into the mix and you've got a series that is quintessentially not only British but allows the humour to shine through in a dark world.

Definitely one to watch and the next adventure is going to be something I'll await with baited breath.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic continuation of the series..., 3 Jul 2009
Mike Carey is a fantastic story teller and writer, taking you through the streets of north london so you feel as if you are there and can almost see the ghosts on the streets. Continuing in the same vein as the previous books this one picks up threads from the last 2 while carrying a decent story of its own.

This is the kind of book that you will not only read straight through but will return to again and again.
