About this ebook

*NOW A NETFLIX SERIES*

In this spine-tingling next book of the Lockwood & Co series, the ghost-hunting gang take on terrifying new challenges.

Five months after the events in The Creeping Shadow, we join Lockwood, Lucy, George, Holly, and their associate Quill Kipps on a perilous night mission: they have broken into the booby-trapped Fittes Mausoleum, where the body of the legendary psychic heroine Marissa Fittes lies. Or does it? This is just one of the many questions to be answered in Book 5 of the Lockwood & Co. series. Will Lockwood ever reveal more about his family's past to Lucy? Will their trip to the Other Side leave Lucy and Lockwood forever changed? Will Penelope Fittes succeed in shutting down their agency forever? The young agents must survive attacks from foes both spectral and human before they can take on their greatest enemy in a climactic and chaotic battle. And to prevail they will have to rely on help from some surprising--and shadowy--allies. Jonathan Stroud once again delivers a rousing adventure full of danger, laughs, twists, and frights. The revelations will send readers back to Book 1 to start the series all over again. Exclusive to this paperback edition: a Lockwood & Co. short story, "The Dagger in the Desk," and an illustrated ghost guide.

Ratings and reviews

I can fan girled over this. And my family thought inwas weird. They don't even KNOW. This is the last book and if Stroud doesn't give me a ton of lockyle it will be the death of me

We are so happy an sad at the same time. So happy the book is finally out. So sad that is the last in the series. Our family has been reading these stories together at night time and are in love with all the characters. Darn-it Jonathan, can we have at least one more book, one more adventure for everyone at Portland Row??! An incredible world he has created with wonderful characters and the journey and adventures they experience to save peoples lives and london from "The Problem".

The kind of book that you don't want to put down for anything, even to sleep. Such a great conclusion to the series!
