Beschreibung

He's dead. She's deadly. The bad guys don't stand a chance.

The fifth book in the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series.

Skulduggery and Valkyrie are back - just in time to see their whole world turned upside down.

As Valkyrie struggles to protect her dark secret, Skulduggery and their friends are more vulnerable than ever as a plague of body-snatching Remnants are released upon the world...

'A thoroughly satisfying blend of humour, magic and adventure' Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series

Autor

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."
