The Devil You Know

Mike Carey

First published April 2006
Type Novel
Series Felix Castor #1

Felix Castor is a freelance exorcist, and London is his stamping ground. It may seem like a good ghostbuster can charge what he likes and enjoy a hell of a lifestyle - but there's a risk: Sooner or later he's going to take on a spirit that's too strong for him. While trying to back out of this ill-conceived career, Castor accepts a seemingly simple ghost-hunting case at a museum in the shadowy heart of London - just to pay the bills, you understand. But what should have been a perfectly straightforward exorcism is rapidly turning into the 'Who Can Kill Castor First Show', with demons and ghosts all keen to claim the big prize. That's okay: Castor knows how to deal with the dead. It's the living who piss him off... (adapted from the front flap of the Warner Books first hardback edition)
