Description
Meet Skulduggery Pleasant: detective, sorcerer, warrior.
Oh yes. And dead.
The Necromancers no longer need Valkyrie to be their Death Bringer, and that's a Good Thing.
There's just one catch. There's a reason the Necromancers don't need her any more - because they've found their Death Bringer already, the person who will dissolve the doors between life and death.
And that's a very, very Bad Thing...
About the Author
Derek Landy lives near Dublin. Before writing his children's story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, he wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous horror film. "I think my career-guidance teacher is spinning in her grave," he says, "or she would be if she were dead."
