About this ebook
Now a major Netflix series!
Ghosts and ghouls beware! London's smallest, shabbiest and most talented psychic detection agency is back.
Life is never exactly peaceful for Lockwood & Co. Lucy and George are trying to solve the mystery of the talking skull trapped in their ghost jar, while Lockwood is desperate for an exciting new case.
Things seem to be looking up when the team is called to Kensal Green Cemetery to investigate the grave of a sinister Victorian doctor. Strange apparitions have been seen there, and the site must be made safe. As usual, Lockwood is confident; as usual, everything goes wrong - a terrible phantom is freed and a dangerous object is stolen from the coffin.
Lockwood & Co. must recover the relic before its power is unleashed, but it's a race against time. Their obnoxious rivals from the Fittes agency are also on the hunt. And if that's not bad enough, the skull in the ghost-jar is stirring again...
The author of the blockbuster BARTIMAEUS sequence delivers another humorous and chilling instalment in the critically acclaimed LOCKWOOD & CO. series.
'Stroud is a genius' Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series.

I'm huge fans of Bartimaeus Sequence but after read of other Stroud's book, kinda feel dissapointed. The writing line is unique but lack of charms. This series make me hooked again.

It still is very fun and enjoyable in the book 2. Like Bartimaeus, No one book's story line is feel alike. I can not wait for the next one.

A page turner with some good scares. An interesting world where children are needed to contain a plague of ghosts and hauntings.
