Author of The Girl With All the Gifts Mike Carey presents the second book in his hip supernatural thriller series featuring freelance exorcist Felix Castor.

Felix Castor has reluctantly returned to exorcism after a successful case convinces him that he really can do some good with his abilities -- "good," of course, being a relative term when dealing with the undead. His friend Rafi is still possessed, the succubus Ajulutsikael (Juliet to her friends) still technically has a contract on him, and he's still dirt poor.

Doing some consulting for the local cops helps pay the bills, but Castor needs a big private job to really fill the hole in his bank account. That's what he needs. What he gets is a seemingly insignificant "missing ghost" case that inexorably drags him and his loved ones into the middle of a horrific plot to raise one of hell's fiercest demons.

When satanists, stolen spirits, sacrifice farms, and haunted churches all appear on the same police report, the name Felix Castor can't be too far behind. . . Supernatural Ghosts Demons Horror Thriller & Suspense

Critic reviews

"Felix offers a darkly droll take on the circumstances of his world, which is just as familiar, intricate, and morally tangled as our own."—Entertainment Weekly
"A treat . . . Castor follows up his excellent debut with this even better sequel . . . Genre-bending at its best."—Booklist (starred review)
"[A] deftly crafted, can't-turn-the-page-fast-enough read."—Kirkus (starred review)
"The Devil You Know is a spectacular novel, one of the best supernatural thrillers I've read in years."—Douglas Preston, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of the Dead on The Devil You Know
"An imaginative spin on the hard-boiled detective . . . mixes horror and humor in a way that spells good omens for future Castor novels."—Entertainment Weekly on The Devil You Know
"Carey transcends his comic roots in this quirky, dark and imaginative tale that compels reader to keep turning pages long after they should have gotten to sleep."—Kirkus (starred review) on The Devil You Know
"Every bit as good as Jim Butcher, Carey hits his stride."—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Dead Men's Boots
"The Felix Castor novels are splashed with color and texture, their characters are larger than life (or death), and the stories are, well . . . out of this world. Castor is a remarkably believable character... A wholly engaging blend of the detective and fantasy genres."—Booklist

Michael Kramer is easily my favorite narrator. He has the best voice.
I am loving this series so much. I knew about it years ago and didn't pick it up until this year. Frankly, I'm disappointed with myself. It is so good.

Felix Castor stories are such dark, ghostly fun! Plenty of snark, a lead with a liquor-soaked heart, and lots of detective and fantasy tropes used in genius ways.

Miss Harry Dresden? Read this!

Maybe my favorite of this series. IDK the next one is just as good. I really wish carey would start it back up again. Its like the John Constantine of London, and no wonder that Carey also used to write on Hellblazer.

Love this Story

spin on the Urban Paranormal genre. I would highly recommend as another reviewer said, it's actually better than the Dresden files. The author excels in varied genres and well worth the credit. Reader does a good job as his voice is very "noir."

Unique
