More info The first book in the series by the famous Jonathan Stroud is an excellent fantasy for true connoisseurs of the genre! «Stroud is a genius» — this is how Rick Riordan spoke succinctly about the British writer Jonathan Stroud. Indeed, it is impossible to tear yourself away from J. Stroud’s books! The series went on to become as popular and bestseller lists around the world as The Bartimaeus Trilogy. Run by three teenagers, Lockwood & Co is dedicated to fighting the ghosts that have flooded London. As always, Stroud masterfully creates a unique alternative world, where his contradictory, but such attractive characters act. A real literary fusion — the plot is involved in detective investigations, an intense search for answers, mysticism, and all this in an atmosphere of almost steampunk London. Abstract My name is Lucy Carlisle and I work for Lockwood & Company. There are only three of us: me, Anthony (aka Lockwood) and George. We are committed to catching ghosts and saving London from them. Actually, it just sounds simple, in fact, it’s much more complicated. There are a great many ghosts and their varieties, and most of them are deadly, and even our superweapons — rapiers, iron chains and cans of Greek fire — are not always effective. However, there are no cowards in our agency. This time Lockwood decided to go to an old house, which has been inhabited by ghosts for many centuries and where the famous Screaming Stairs is located. With the onset of darkness, she utters monstrous screams. But there is a small problem — no one ever left this mansion alive, and all the previous agents who tried to solve its secret died. Are we just nuts to take on this business?
