The Faceless Ones - Skulduggery Pleasant: Tome 3

Informationen zum Autor Derek Landy lives near Dublin. Before writing his children's story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, he wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous horror film. "I think my career-guidance teacher is spinning in her grave," he says, "or she would be if she were dead." Klappentext Third bone-breaking! belly-busting adventure in the Skulduggery Pleasant series. 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. Zusammenfassung Third bone-breaking, belly-busting adventure in the bestselling series that puts the “funny” back in… um… funny bestselling series. That didn’t really work, did it?
