Jonathan Stroud was born in Bedford in 1970. After studying English Literature at York University, he moved to London, where he worked as an editor at a publishing firm. He is the author of the best-selling Bartimaeus series; the much-beloved Lockwood & Co. series (now a major Netflix series) as well as The Notorious Scarlett & Browne; Heroes of the Valley; The Last Seige; The Leap and Buried Fire. He lives in Hertfordshire with his family. He has yet to see a ghost, but is keeping his eyes open.

"Stroud delivers another riveting narrative" Booklist "Rousing adventures for young tomb robbers and delvers into realms better left to the dead" Kirkus "As in the first volume there are plenty of heart-stopping moments and a generous dollop of gore, but nothing most teens and confident readers can't handle: in fact, the problem will be to persuade them to put the book down. In short, it's both gross and engrossing!" The Bookbag

1. 4/5

   "Novell"

   Lockwood-böckerna började jag läsa för min 11-årige son, o de är så otroligt välskrivna och spännande att jag läste både den näst sista och sista själv på engelska innan de kom ut på svenska. Den här var precis lika rolig och välskriven, men den tog slut "för fort"...
