BOOK BLURB:
Old ghosts of different kinds come back to haunt Fix, 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 ...
REVIEW:
If you want a realistic London with a Supernatural twist then no one does it better than Mike Carey. Here Castor gets not only into the dark paranormal world up to the elbows but in this tale he’s in it up to his neck and probably beyond as the events spiral out of control even by Castor’s standards. It’s a cracking tale, its well written and above all the characterisation within the novels continue to develop so that each person is like a living breathing human. It makes the losses harder to bear and above all I love the way that Carey’s writing grabs me to the last word.
