The Devil You Know: Felix Castor, cartea 1
Autor Mike Careyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mar 2018
Felix
Castor
is
a
freelance
exorcist,
and
London
is
his
stomping
ground.
It
may
seem
like
a
good
ghostbuster
can
charge
what
he
likes
and
enjoy
a
hell
of
a
lifestyle,
but
there's
a
risk:
sooner
or
later
he's
going
to
take
on
a
spirit
that's
too
strong
for
him.
When
Castor
accepts
a
seemingly
simple
ghost-hunting
case
at
a
museum
in
the
shadowy
heart
of
London,
what
should
have
been
a
perfectly
straightforward
exorcism
is
rapidly
turning
into
the
Who
Can
Kill
Castor
First
Show,
with
demons
and
ghosts
all
keen
to
claim
the
big
prize.
But
that's
business
as
usual:
Castor
knows
how
to
deal
with
the
dead.
It's
the
living
who
piss
him
off....

"Sleazy and down-at-heel and quintessentially London, Mike Carey's Felix Castor steps effortlessly into the growing field of supernatural noir and brings with him a blast of fresh, British air. Think Shoestring meets Constantine, with backing vocals from the shades of Leslie Charteris and Anais Nin. Carey's plotting is tight and laconic, and laced with shivery, understated horrors from both the human world and beyond. It grabs you from the first out-of-nowhere nasty surprise, and rarely lets go thereafter. You'll be up all night finishing this one."—Richard Morgan
"Engrossing . . . perfect . . . an ingeniously multilayered tale."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"An imaginative spin on the hard-boiled detective . . . mixes horror and humor in a way that spells good omens for future Castor novels."—Entertainment Weekly
"Carey transcends his comic roots in this quirky, dark and imaginative tale that compels reader to keep turning pages long after they should have gotten to sleep."—Kirkus (starred review)
