Meet Skulduggery Pleasant: detective, sorcerer, warrior.Oh yes. And dead.The Necromancers no longer need Valkyrie to be their Death Bringer, and that’s a Good Thing.There’s just one catch. There’s a reason the Necromancers don’t need her any more.

Playing With Fire

Lubage tutvustada, Luuker Leebesurm – tarkpeast detektiiv, kõikvõimas maag, räpaste trikkide ja murdvarguste meister. Ahjaa, ja surnud. Koos ebatavalise ja salapäraselt andeka Stephanie Edgleyga moodustavad nad liidu, mis peab jagu saama kõikematvast iidsest kurjusest. „Detektiiv Luuker Leebesurm: Mängides tulega“ on teine lugu Derek Landy põrgulikult põnevast noorteseeriast. Serpin on surnud, maailm on taas ohust päästetud. Vähemalt seda Valküüria ja Leebesurm arvavad, kuni kurikuulus parun Vengeus murrab end veriselt vanglast välja ja üle kogu Iirimaa ilmub välja laipu ning vampiire. Kui parun Vengeus saab kätte ka Lord Julma surmavalt ohtliku turvise ja enam-vähem kõik soovivad Valküüria surma, seisab vapra detektiividuo ees nende seni suurim väljakutse. Ent vahest ähvardab Valküüriat suurim oht hoopis lähemal…?
„Sa tapad ta?” küsis Piin. Leebesurm vajus longu. „Jah.” Koterman vaatas Kaini. Too seisis vaikides nii sirgelt kui suutis ja üritas pisaratest hoolimata kartmatuna näida. Leebesurm kõhkles ja võttis siis pintsaku varjust revolvri. „Andesta mulle, Valküüria,” poetas Leebesurm vaikselt. „Ära räägi minuga. Tee lihtsalt, mida tegema pead.” Kain tegi vesti eest lahti ja Koterman naeratas. Ta soovis nii väga, et kogu see värk jääks lindile, siis saaks ta seda edaspidi ikka ja jälle üle vaadata. Hetk, kui Luuker Leebesurm mõrvas Valküüria Kaini. „Palun andesta mulle,” ütles Leebesurm, sihtis ja vajutas päästikule.

And that means thousands of wicked souls, desperate to get to Valkyrie, willing to kill anyone in their way… Oh, and because they can possess any body, they could be ANYONE.Now Skulduggery, Valkyrie, Ghastly and Tanith can trust no one. Not even each other…

Meet Skulduggery Pleasant: detective, sorcerer, warrior.Oh yes. And dead.If you’ve read the previous Skulduggery books then you know what the Faceless Ones are – and if you know what the Faceless Ones are, then you can probably take a wild guess that things in this book are going to get AWFULLY sticky for our skeletal hero and his young sidekick.If you haven’t read the previous Skulduggery books then what are you doing reading this? Go and read them right now, so that you know what all that stuff in the previous paragraph was about.Done? Good. So now you’re on tenterhooks too, desperately awaiting the answers to all your questions, and instead you’re going to have to wait to read the book. Sorry about that.
