Old ghosts of different kinds come back to haunt Fix, in the fourth gripping Felix Castor novel. Names and faces he thought he'd left behind in Liverpool resurface in London, bringing Castor far more trouble than he'd anticipated. Childhood memories, family traumas, sins old and new, and a council estate that was meant to be a modern utopia until it turned into something like hell...these are just some of the sticks life uses to beat Felix Castor with as things go from bad to worse for London's favourite freelance exorcist. See, Castor's stepped over the line this time, and he knows he'll have to pay; the only question is: how much? Not the best of times, then, for an unwelcome confrontation with his holier-than-thou brother, Matthew. And just when he thinks things can't possibly get any worse, along comes Father Gwillam and the Anathemata. Oh joy'

'[An] engrossing dark fantasy debut ... The resolution of this ingeniously multilayered tale will satisfy fans of both fantasy and detective fiction... Castor's wisecracking cleverness in the face of weird nemeses makes him the perfect hardboiled hero for a new supernatural noir series.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred 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 'Simply brilliant novels ... One of the best books series around right now' - Forbidden Planet International
