Meet Skulduggery Pleasant: detective, sorcerer, warrior. Oh yes. And dead. The Necromancers no longer need Valkyrie to be their Death Bringer, and that's a Good Thing. There's just one catch. There's a reason the Necromancers don't need her any more - because they've found their Death Bringer already, the person who will dissolve the doors between life and death. And that's a very, very Bad Thing. * The sixth book in the bestselling, award-winning series from Derek Landy will be an absolute must have for all Skulduggery fans * The Skulduggery series has sold an awesome 600,000 copies * The fifth title, Mortal Coil sold an incredible 56k HBs leading up to Christmas 2010 in its first autumn slot, which was 20% ahead of the previous title.
