The Devil You Know

Felix Castor is a freelance exorcist, and London is his stamping ground. It may seem like a good ghostbuster can charge what he likes and enjoy a hell of a lifestyle--but there's a risk: Sooner or later he's going to take on a spirit that's too strong for him. While trying to back out of this ill-conceived career, Castor accepts a seemingly simple ghost-hunting case at a museum in the shadowy heart of London-- just to pay the bills, you understand. But what should have been a perfectly straightforward exorcism is rapidly turning into the Who Can Kill Castor First Show, with demons and ghosts all keen to claim the big prize. That's OK: Castor knows how to deal with the dead. It's the living who piss him off...

A thoroughly enjoyable mashup of mystery/detective/fantasy. Darkly humorous and hard-boiled at the edges, Felix Castor is a freelance exorcist in self-imposed retirement. Working as a party magician to pay the bills, Castor is pulled back into the life he left behind.
"Felix Castor is a freelance exorcist" -- that says it all, and this supernatural pulp detective series delivers. I've read the first three and loved them all; I keep finding myself telling people at parties about this exorcist that uses a tin whistle to lay ghosts to rest (I'm not sure they appreciate it much).
