Dark Days

He’s dead. She’s deadly. The bad guys don’t stand a chance.

The fourth book in the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series.

Skulduggery is gone, sucked into a parallel dimension. There is no OFFICIAL plan to save him.

But Valkyrie’s never had much time for plans.

‘A thoroughly satisfying blend of humour, magic and adventure’ Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series

About the author

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."
