It may seem like a good ghost buster 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. While trying to back out of this ill-conceived career, Castor accepts a seemingly simple ghost-hunting case at a museum in the shadowy heart of London just to pay the bills, you understand. But 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. That's OK: Castor knows how to deal with the dead. It's the living who piss him off... 1936254 book 2006 The Devil You Know (Felix Castor, #1) total:540|5:101|4:256|3:157|2:21|1:5| 540 2047 873 136 4 1 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 20 20:26:34 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 20 20:42:49 -0700 2007
