Publisher’s Summary

In the six months since Anthony, Lucy, and George survived a night in
the most haunted house in England, Lockwood and Co. hasn’t made much
progress. Quill Kipps and his team of Fittes agents keep swooping in
on Lockwood’s investigations. Finally, in a fit of anger, Anthony challenges
his rival to a contest: the next time the two agencies compete on a
job, the losing side will have to admit defeat in the Times newspaper.-

Things look up when a new client, Mr. Saunders, hires Lockwood and Co.
to be present at the excavation of Edmund Bickerstaff, a Victorian doctor
who reportedly tried to communicate with the dead. Saunders needs the
coffin sealed with silver to prevent any supernatural trouble. All goes
well – until George’s curiosity attracts a horrible phantom.

Back home at Portland Row, Lockwood accuses George of making too many
careless mistakes. Lucy is distracted by urgent whispers coming from
the skull in the ghost jar. Then the team is summoned to DEPRAC headquarters.
Kipps is there too, much to Lockwood’s annoyance. Bickerstaff’s coffin
was raided and a strange glass object buried with the corpse has vanished.
Inspector Barnes believes the relic to be highly dangerous, and he wants
it found.

The author of the blockbuster Bartimaeus series delivers another amusing,
chilling, and ingeniously plotted entry in the critically acclaimed
Lockwood and Co. series.
