The Devil You Know : A Felix Castor Novel, vol 1

Felix Castor is a freelance exorcist, and London is his stamping ground.At a time when the supernatural world is in upheaval and spilling over into the mundane reality of the living, his skills have never been more in demand.A good exorcist can charge what he likes - and enjoy a hell of a life-style - but there's a risk: sooner or later he's going to take on a spirit that's too strong for him.After a year spent in 'retirement' Castor is reluctantly drawn back to the life he rejected and accepts a seemingly simple exorcism case - just to pay the bills, you understand.Trouble is, the more he discovers about the ghost haunting the archive, the more things don't add up.What should have been a perfectly straightforward exorcism is rapidly turning into the Who Can Kill Castor First Show, with demons, were-beings and ghosts all keen to claim the big prize.But that's OK; Castor knows how to deal with the dead.It's the living who piss him off ...
