"The Devil You Know (Felix Castor, #1)" by Mike Carey
https://www.amazon.com/Devil-You-Know-Felix-Castor/dp/0316511765

Book number one of a five book dark fantasy (horror) series. I read the
well printed and well bound trade paperback published by Orbit Books in
2006 that I bought in 2019 from Amazon. I have ordered book #2 in the
series.

Mike Carey is the author of the acclaimed "The Girl With All The Gifts"
book and the DC Comics "Lucifer" series. "The Girl With All The Gifts"
was made into a successful movie based on his screenplay. This is a
just as dark series by him of Felix Castor, a freelance exorcist in
London, England. The setting of the book is after the dead started
rising in London a couple of decades ago as ghosts. And demons from
Hell are appearing now and everyone hates and fears them with a passion.

Felix Castor can see dead people. And they can see him. Mostly they
just haunt places but some of the ghosts are downright nasty. Or,
vindictive. People call Felix a ghostbuster but when they have a ghost
in their home or their business, they will call him for help. And there
have been lots of dead people in London.

If you are a big fan of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files books then you will probably like this series. I know that I did.

My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
