Klappentext:
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, which is creating a bit of tension back home at Portland Row.
Things look up when a new client, Mr. Saunders, hires Lockwood & Co. to be present at the exhumation of Edmund Bickerstaff, a doctor who, in Victorian times, purportedly tried to communicate with the dead. Saunders needs th coffin sealed with silver to prevent any supernatural trouble. All goes well – until George’s curiosity attracts a horrible phantom.
That isn’t the only chaos that follows the phantom’s release. Inspector Barnes of DEPRAC informs Lockwood and Lipps that Bickerstaff’s coffin has been raided and a strange glass object has been stolen. He believes the relic to be highly dangerous, and he wants it found. Meanwhile Lucy is distracted by urgent whispers coming from the skull in the ghost jar. …
The autor of the blockbuster Bartimaeus series delivers another amusing, chilling, and ingeniously plottet installment in the critically accalimed Lockwood & Co. series.
