Old ghosts of different kinds come back to haunt Felix, in the fourth
gripping Felix Castor novel. Names and faces he thought he'd left behind
in Liverpool resurface in London, bringing Castor far more trouble than
he'd anticipated. Childhood memories, family traumas, sins old and new,
and a council estate that was meant to be a modern utopia until it
turned into something like hell...these are just some of the sticks life
uses to beat Felix Castor with as things go from bad to worse for
London's favourite freelance exorcist.
See, Castor's stepped over the line this time, and he knows he'll have
to pay; the only question is, how much? Not the best of times, then, for
an unwelcome confrontation with his holier-than-thou brother, Matthew.
And just when he thinks things can't possibly get any worse, along comes
Father Gwillam and the Anathemata. Oh joy....
