Freelance exorcist Felix Castor is just trying to pay his bills when he takes on a seemingly simple case involving some ghosts haunting a London museum. But the quick and straightforward exorcism he was expecting quickly turns into something deadly. Suddenly it seems like every ghost and demon in London is out to get him. Fortunately, Felix is used to dealing with the dead. Dealing with the living is another story. The Devil You Know is the first book in Mike Carey's popular Felix Castor series, which blends supernatural horror, urban fantasy, and dark humor.
The third installment in Mike Carey's Felix Castor series, Dead Men's Boots finds Felix Castor dealing with one too many problems. He's helping a friend to prevent some lawyers from stealing her husband's corpse. He's investigating a gruesome murder that looks suspiciously like the work of a long-dead serial killer. And he's in the midst of a drawn out legal battle over the body of his friend Rafi, who just happens to be possessed. Felix is starting to wonder if all these things might actually be related. So, with assistance from an uneasy zombie and a succubus, he attempts to discover the truth before all his problems converge and he ends up dead.
