In un''Inghilterra colpita da immani catastrofi che hanno condotto al collasso della civiltà, Londra è diventata una laguna e la gente vive all''interno di isolate roccaforti. Solo pochi fuorilegge hanno l''audacia di sfidare l''ignoto nelle inospitali Terre Selvagge. Tra loro c''è Scarlett McCain. Rapinatrice dal grilletto facile e dal carattere fiero e indipendente, ha un talento naturale per cavarsela nelle situazioni più estreme e la spiccata tendenza a cacciarsi in grossi guai. Dopo aver messo a segno il suo ultimo rocambolesco colpo, durante la fuga si imbatte nei rottami di un autobus e nell''unico superstite di un tragico incidente stradale, Albert Browne, un ragazzo apparentemente dolce e inoffensivo ma dal passato misterioso e in possesso di poteri tanto oscuri quanto pericolosi. A dispetto del proprio istinto, Scarlett si lascerà convincere ad accompagnarlo nel suo viaggio verso le Isole Libere, attraverso territori popolati dai Contaminati, e dovrà vedersela con uomini spietati che gli danno la caccia.

Action! Humor! Fantasy! "Kicking off a new series with a bang (several bangs, in fact), Stroud sends two young fugitives with murky pasts fleeing murderous pursuers across a fractured future Britain." —Kirkus Reviews, starred Scarlett McCain is a shoot-first ask-questions-later kind of outlaw. She scrapes by on bank heists, her wits—and never looking back. She’s on the run from her latest crime when she comes across Albert Browne. He is the sole survivor of a horrific accident, and against her better judgement, Scarlett agrees to guide him to safety. This is a mistake. Soon there are men with dogs and guns and explosives hot on their heels. Scarlett’s used to being chased by the law, but this is extreme. It was only a little bank she’d robbed . . . As they flee together across the wilds, fighting off monstrous beasts, and dodging their pursuers, Scarlett comes to realize that Albert Browne is hiding a terrible secret. And that he may be the most dangerous threat of all. In this fast-paced, quick-witted whirlwind of a story, Jonathan Stroud introduces two unlikely allies—the outlaws Scarlett and Browne—who are about to become the most notorious renegades in all that’s left of Britain.

Lanjutan Pemuda Berongga Kota dikepung arwah? Kanibal bangkit dari kematian? Hanya ada satu tim pemburu hantu yang kaubutuhkan... Namun Lockwood & Co. kekurangan satu agen–– Lucy Carlyle sekarang jadi operatif lepas. Dan mereka kewalahan menangani pekerjaan: tapak-tapak tangan raksasa di jendela, bunyi pisau memotong-motong di dapur berhantu... Belum lagi Bayangan Mengendap––ancaman raksasa yang mengintai pekarangan gereja desa, membangkitkan para hantu dari kubur. Lockwood & Co. sangat membutuhkan bantuan Lucy. Kalau saja mereka mampu membujuknya untuk kembali... Tokoh-tokoh yang fantastis, aksi yang seru. ––Guardian

De tre unga agenterna Lucy, George och Anthony på Lockwood & Co. borde kanske trivas när spökena håller sig lugna. Men firman måste överleva, och de vill inget hellre än att en fasansfull ande ska uppenbara sig. Så får de i uppdrag att undersöka graven till en ovanligt ohygglig gammal doktor, känd för att påkalla andevärlden. Uppdraget verkar relativt enkelt. Men det mesta går fel: en förfärlig gast släpps lös och ett farligt föremål stjäls från kistan ... Blandningen mellan modern tid i stadsmiljöer och viktoriansk spökhistoria fungerar utomordentligt väl. Språket är lekfullt, omständligt och torrt humoristiskt. Tempot är högt och rysarstunderna många i Den viskande dödskallen. Målgruppen är tänkt för 9-12 år, men boken är så pass mörk och språkligt krävande att den även passar för lite äldre läsare.” BTJ, Häfte nr 9, 2015. Lektör Fia Idegård

Lucy har lämnat spökjägarbyrån Lockwood & Co. Numera frilansar hon för olika agenturer, som hon tycker bättre uppskattar hennes unika talang för att förgöra spöken. Men när Anthony Lockwood ändå ber Lucy om hjälp kan hon inte säga nej. Hans agentur är den enda som anses skicklig nog att åta sig fallet med det legendariska spöket som kallas den flammande skuggan. Det är ett extremt farligt uppdrag, och Lucys begåvning är helt nödvändig om Lockwood ska lyckas. Men stämningen mellan Lucy, Anthony och de övriga agenterna är minst sagt spänd, vilket försvårar en redan hotfull situation. De måste hitta ett sätt att försonas och kunna samarbeta igen, om de ska lyckas. Men så uppdagas en chockerande sanning som kommer att skaka om dem alla. Den flammande skuggan är del fyra i serien Lockwood & Co av Jonathan Stroud.

Im vierten Abenteuer um die Geisterjägeragentur Lockwood & Co. bekommen Anthony Lockwood und George es mit einem besonders schrecklichen Verbrechen zu tun.

Um diesen Fall zu klären, müssen sie alle Kräfte mobilisieren und so bitten sie die in Geisterdingen hochbegabte Lucy, als Beraterin in die Agentur zurückzukehren. Doch die Freunde ahnen nicht, wie sehr diese Nachforschungen sie selbst in ihren beruflichen und persönlichen Grundfesten erschüttern werden und dass sie damit Kräfte auf den Plan rufen, die selbst sie nicht mehr kontrollieren können ... Jonathan Stroud schreibt unvergleichlich witzig und ironisch und sorgt mit den spannenden Abenteuern von Lockwood & Co für Gänsehaut und schlaflose Nächte.
