About this ebook

From the New York Times bestselling author of Voices from Beyond comes the next haunted horror case featuring the Ghost Finders.

Meet the operatives of the Carnacki Institute—JC Chance: the team leader, brave, charming, and almost unbearably arrogant; Melody Chambers: the science geek who keeps the antisupernatural equipment running; and Happy Jack Palmer: the terminally gloomy telepath. Their mission: Do Something About Ghosts. Lay them to rest, send them packing, or just kick their nasty ectoplasmic arses…

A threat to Humanity rests on the bottom of the North Sea: the interdimensional entity known as the Flesh Undying. It is a monstrous being of unimaginable power, way out of the Ghost Finders’ league, so the team has no choice but to accept an alliance with their evil counterpart, Project Crowley.

Only the creature has already turned its eye upon the Ghost Finders—and dispatched an assassin with a deadly vendetta against them…

Ratings and reviews

Too many of Green's books are resolved through deus ex machina, and, alas, this is no exception. And while the main characters of Green's Nightside/Drood/Ghostfinder series started out unique, they have all become so similar that they're indistinguishable.

I wish this could have gone on longer. I loved the characters. Knew JC was going to end up in charge in the end. Also liked that him and Kim got to have their life together. Great piece of work, very entertaining.

Great twist at the end
