About this ebook

A thrilling new case for London’s most talented psychic detection agency – from the global bestselling author of the Bartimaeus Sequence.

In London, a mysterious and potentially deadly ghost is stalking the halls of St Simeon’s Academy for Talented Youngsters. It lurks in the shadows, spreading fear and icy cold – and it carries a sharp and very solid dagger . . .

The headmaster wastes no time in enlisting the help of ghost-hunters Anthony Lockwood, Lucy Carlyle and George Cubbins.

Can Lockwood & Co. survive the night and save the day?

Ratings and reviews

I search this short story because i read the lockwood and co. Book one and two; addicted by them, it's really good, the short story and the novels. i need more of this...I just wish it's longer and have unique incident that a little different from the novel, some special event perhaps...anyway, can't wait for the third book

Jonathan, a little self indulgent i think! This book is literature's answer to "lift-music".

A delightful small tale from Lockwood & Co. I'm always happy to read about their adventures (even the small ones).
