Stephanie's Uncle Gordon writes best-selling horror books. He's very good at it and he's made a fortune. But when Uncle Gordon dies and leaves her his fortune, nobody is more surprised than Stephanie. She wasn't expecting anything of the kind. And that's not the only surprise in store for Stephanie. Within days of Uncle Gordon's death, she narrowly escapes an abduction attempt, rescued by a strange figure who had appeared at both Gordon's funeral and at the reading of his will. Skulduggery Pleasant is a detective, but he's not your average sleuth. He's a living skeleton and a sorcerer of tremendous power to boot. It turns out that Gordon's books weren't fiction after all. Living skeletons exist. Sorcerers exist. Vampires exist. And a nasty man called Nefarious Serpine is trying to destroy the world. He needs a key and he thinks Stephanie has it.
