Synopsis
Felix Castor has reluctantly returned to exorcism after a successful case convinced him that he really can do some good with his abilities, good being a relative term when dealing with the undead. Soon he discovers that something very bad is happening in London, and the rising of the dead is only the start of it: when satanists, stolen spirits, sacrifice farms and haunted churches all appear on the same police report, the name Felix Castor cannot be too far behind. The second Felix Castor novel.
