What people are saying about DEAD MAN'S STEEL: 'Brilliant and I'm gutted it's ended' 'This book is a truly fantastic read of friendship, strength to conquer all trials life throws your way and, most importantly, love' 'It's a can't-put-down page turner' 'I was surprised how invested I got in the characters and how much I wanted them to succeed'.
Dead Men's Boots: A Felix Castor Novel, vol 3 (Felix Castor Novel #3)
by Mike CareyBefore 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. . .
