Описание: In the six months since Anthony, Lucy, and George survived a night in the most haunted house in England, Lockwood & 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 & 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 & Co. series. Praise for The Screaming Staircase "This story will keep you reading late into the night, but you'll want to leave the lights on. Stroud is a genius at inventing an utterly believable world which is very much like ours, but so creepily different. Put The Screaming Staircase on your 'need to read' list " -- Rick Riordan "A pleasure from tip to tail, this is the book you hand the advanced readers that claim they'd rather read Paradise Lost than Harry Potter. Smart as a whip, funny, witty, and honestly frightening at times, Stroud lets loose and gives readers exactly what they want. Ghosts, kids on their own without adult supervision, and loads of delicious cookies." -- Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal "Stroud shows his customary flair for blending deadpan humor with thrilling action, and the fiery interplay among the three agents of Lockwood & Co. invigorates the story (along with no shortage of creepy moments)." -- Publishers Weekly "A heartily satisfying string of entertaining near-catastrophes, replete with narrow squeaks and spectral howls." -- Kirkus Reviews

Описание: As a massive outbreak of supernatural Visitors baffles Scotland Yard and causes protests throughout London, Lockwood & Co. continue to demonstrate their effectiveness in exterminating spirits. Anthony Lockwood is dashing, George insightful, and Lucy dynamic, while the skull in the jar utters sardonic advice from the sidelines. There is a new spirit of openness in the team now that Lockwood has shared some of his childhood secrets, and Lucy is feeling more and more as if her true home is at Portland Row. It comes as a great shock, then, when Lockwood and George introduce her to an annoyingly perky and hyper-efficient new assistant, Holly Munro. Meanwhile, there are reports of many new hauntings, including a house where bloody footprints are appearing, and a department store full of strange sounds and shadowy figures. But ghosts seem to be the least of Lockwood & Co.'s concerns when assassins attack during a carnival in the center of the city. Can the team get past their personal issues to save the day on all fronts, or will bad feelings attract yet more trouble? Danger abounds, tensions escalate, and new loyalties form in this third delightfully terrifying adventure in the critically acclaimed Lockwood & Co. series.

Описание:
Private investigator Nick Ross is a former cop still battling the demons of his past--the random shooting of his wife, the suspicious death of his partner, and a lingering DUI record. But this time, he might be the only one who can help.
After a string of transgender murders in Las Vegas, popular "showgirl" Roxy Lynn finds a note saying that she's next. Running from her own criminal past, she convinces Nick to help without involving the police. Everyone's got something to hide, and behind the facades they present to the world are weighty secrets. But when the pair gets tied up with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police's main suspect, the previous victim's boyfriend, events quickly escalate. Political pressure on the police increases and their only goal is a quick arrest. Nick and Roxy have to make split-second decisions, and as the mystery thickens, there is no way to know who can be trusted.
Spinning between Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Laguna Beach, Duality spills over with unexpected twists and turns. The stakes are high on all fronts, and the murderer is still on the loose, searching for his or her next victim.

Описание: Homicide Detective Lieutenant Jonas Black knows monsters walk the city streets. They're disguised as ordinary citizens. But, that civilized mask hides a dark killer waiting to unleash evil on someone. Years ago, one such monster beat, raped and killed his girlfriend, Kelly Burton, in Texas. Jonas is haunted by dreams of a shadowy figure from her unsolved murder. Now, such a madman prowls the streets of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Morgan Jansen finds it difficult to love her identical twin sister, Marilyn Heddrix, especially after she sleeps with her rotten husband, Andrew. But, their psychic bond keeps them aware of the each other's presences. When Morgan awakens early one morning in horrible pain, she knows Marilyn is in trouble. After Lieutenant Black and Sergeant Esperanza Ortiz, appear on her doorstep, Morgan learns her sister has been murdered. Now, she would forgive even her sister's betrayal to have her back. But dead is dead, or is it? Karma demands its due. Marilyn must pay for her sins. She returns as a ghost to offer snippets of information about her killer. But, she can't identify him. As the madman strikes again, Morgan tries to explain Marilyn's message. The Lieutenant looks at her as if she's nuts. Her efforts to describe the strange bond between twins is impossible. He doesn't believe her or their unusual abilities. Jonas Black thinks Morgan Jansen is a little crazy with her claim of a psychic connection to her twin. But, he would like to believe her. Is it because of the attraction he feels? She does take his breath away. Five murders later, one even a cop, the killer sets his sights on Morgan. It's a race to find the madman before she becomes his next victim and Jonas Black loses another woman he loves to murder.
