Skulduggery Pleasant

Meet Skulduggery Pleasant

Ace detective

Snappy dresser

Razor—tongued wit

Crackerjack sorcerer

and

walking, talking, fire-throwing skeleton

As well as ally, protector, and mentor of Stephanie Edgely, a very unusual and darkly talented twelve-year-old.

These two alone stand in the way of an all-consuming ancient evil.
