Meet Skulduggery Pleasant:

Ace Detective
Snappy Dresser
Razor-tongued Wit
Crackerjack Sorcerer
and Walking, Talking,
Fire-throwing Skeleton.

He also happens to be the ally, protector, and mentor of Stephanie Edgley, a very unusual and darkly talented twelve-year-old girl.

These two alone must defeat an all-consuming ancient evil. The end of the world? Over his dead body.
