Product description

With Serpine dead, the world is safe once more. That’s what Valkyrie and Skulduggery think. But when the notorious Baron Vengeous makes a bloody escape from prison, dead bodies and vampires are suddenly showing up all over Ireland! With Baron Vengeous after the deadly armour of Lord Vile, and pretty much everyone out to kill Valkyrie, the daring detective duo face their toughest challenge yet. But what if the greatest threat to Valkyrie is much closer to home? This bone-chilling sequel to Skulduggery Pleasant reunites brave Valkyrie with Skulduggery, the wise-cracking dead detective!

Author/Illustrator

Derek Landy

Derek Landy is the author of the bestselling, awardwinning Skulduggery books – the funniest dead detective ever!

Before writing his children’s story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, Derek wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous thriller in which everybody dies.

As a black belt in Kenpo Karate he has taught countless children how to defend themselves, in the hopes of building his own private munchkin army. He firmly believes that they await his call to strike against his enemies (he doesn’t actually have any enemies, but he’s assuming they’ll show up, sooner or later).

Derek lives on the outskirts of Dublin, and the reason he writes his own biography blurb is so that he can finally refer to himself in the third person without looking pompous or insane.

It is a fantastic book about skulduggery Pleasant, who is a magic detective and is dead, and Valkyrie Cain ( Stephanie Edgley ) who is his kind of side kick.
