Felix Castor, known as "Fix" to his friends, is an exorcist whose main weapon is a tin whistle allied with a cutting, witty tongue. He lives in a modern-day London which is becoming inundated with the spirits of the dead and various other denizens of the underworld. After an unsuccessful attempt to exorcise a spirit from a close friend he has sworn away from his chosen career but a need to pay the bills makes him take on a seemingly simple ghost-busting job. However all is not as simple as it seems. What follows is a hilariously chilling noir thriller as Felix fights off various demons, succubi and gangsters who try to stop him discovering the secret of the scarlet shrouded ghost haunting the Bonnington Archive.

I'm always on the lookout for more urban fantasy, so thanks for the rec :-)
(Unfortunately, a lot of the urban fantasy authors I'm interested in don't have books in the ERL.)
Have a lovely day! :-)
Hi Tez,
Thanks for the comment. I've just finished "Vicious Circle" the next Felix Castor book and have "Dead Men's Boots", the third book, lined up to be read next. We're always happy to receive suggestions about what books we should have in the collection so if you have a list of core titles that we are missing please send them to us via the "Contact Us" form:
