The Devil You Know: A Felix Castor Novel, vol 1

The start of a series of supernatural thrillers with a characteristic British flavour, from the bestselling author of THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS.

Felix Castor is a freelance exorcist, and London is his stamping ground. At a time when the supernatural world is in upheaval and spilling over into the mundane reality of the living, his skills have never been more in demand. A good exorcist can charge what he likes - and enjoy a hell of a life-style - but there''s a risk: sooner or later he''s going to take on a spirit that''s too strong for him.

After a year spent in ''retirement'' Castor is reluctantly drawn back to the life he rejected and accepts a seemingly simple exorcism case - just to pay the bills, you understand. Trouble is, the more he discovers about the ghost haunting the archive, the more things don''t add up. What should have been a perfectly straightforward exorcism is rapidly turning into the Who Can Kill Castor First Show, with demons, were-beings and ghosts all keen to claim the big prize.

But that''s OK; Castor knows how to deal with the dead. It''s the living who piss him off . . .
