Mr. Cunning Courteous: The Faceless Ones (Vol. 3)

After Mr. Skulduggery and Playing with Fire, Derek Landy introduces us to an ancient group of sorcerers who reunite to enact an evil plan: bring the Faceless Ones back to Earth. Only the sharp detective duo has the skills and cunning to stop them—the problem is that both Skulduggery and Valkyrie are considered fugitives from justice... However, destruction may come from the Sanctuary itself, and Valkyrie and the skeleton are the only ones who realize this. Now, they'll have to team up with necromancers, psychics, and many other strange characters to end this great threat, which will most likely kill everyone and destroy the world as we know it. Sure, a few bones are broken along the way, but all is well, right? Well, not this time.
