Meet the great Skulduggery Pleasant: wise-cracking detective, powerful magician, master of dirty tricks and burglary (in the name of the greater good, of course).

Oh yeah. And dead.

Then there's his sidekick, Stephanie. She's... well, she's a twelve-year-old girl. With a pair like this on the case, evil had better watch out...

So you won't keep anything from me again?"
He put his hand to his chest. "Cross my heart and hope to die."
"Okay then. Though you don't actually have a heart," she said.
"I know."
"And technically, you've already died."
"I know that too."
"Just so we're clear."

Stephanie's uncle Gordon is a writer of horror fiction. But when he dies and leaves her his estate, Stephanie learns that while he may have written horror, it certainly wasn't fiction.

Pursued by evil forces intent on recovering a mysterious key, Stephanie finds help from an unusual source - the wisecracking skeleton of a dead wizard.

When all hell breaks loose, it's lucky for Skulduggery that he's already dead. Though he's about to discover that being a skeleton doesn't stop you from being tortured, if the torturer is determined enough. And if there's anything Skulduggery hates, it's torture... Will evil win the day? Will Stephanie and Skulduggery stop bickering long enough to stop it? One thing's for sure: evil won't know what's hit it.

About the Author:

Derek Landy is the darkly delightful brain behind the Skulduggery Pleasant series—a rollercoaster of magic, mayhem, and seriously cool skeleton detectives. Hailing from Ireland, Derek started out writing screenplays (with ninjas, naturally), but when he dreamed up a wise-cracking, fire-throwing, sharply dressed skeleton named Skulduggery... well, let’s just say the literary world exploded in the best way possible.

With razor-sharp dialogue, epic battles, and enough sarcasm to fill a haunted library, Derek’s books are beloved by fans who like their fantasy with a side of chaos and a LOT of clever twists. His stories balance heart-pounding action with hilarious banter and characters so cool, they practically leap off the page wearing sunglasses.

But don’t let the undead detective fool you—Derek’s also a softie at heart, known for writing complex friendships, emotional moments, and characters who stick with you long after the final chapter (even if they’re technically not alive).

If you love magic, monsters, and heroes with bite, Derek Landy is your guy. Just don’t challenge him to a duel. He has a skeleton army.
