We follow a parallel world in which a ghost epidemic occurs. Restless spirits of the dead appear at night, their touch is deadly, and only children can see or hear them, who are therefore on the front lines of the war. Such are Anthony Lockwood, Lucy Carlyle and George Cubbins, agents of London's smallest ghost-fighting agency, the only one that operates without adult supervisors.
The first book in the series, which international critics have described as a brilliant blend of detective novel and horror story. A tense tale, full of ghosts and Stroud's imaginative humor. Much better than the Netflix series based on the book. (summarized from the general page of Miš Publishing House)
