THE DEMON COLLECTOR
The author of bestselling MORTLOCK returns to the darkly magical world of Victorian London in his second thrilling gothic adventure.
Edgy Taylor doesn’t have the best job in the world; he collects dog droppings from the streets of Victorian London to sell to the tanneries. But things are set to get even tougher for Edgy when a dying errand boy hands him a map carved into a sliver of skull.
Rescued by the mysterious Professor Envry Janus, Edgy is catapulted into the arcane world of the Royal Society of Daemonologie where demons are collected, catalogued and turned to stone. Intrigue and murder stalk the dusty corridors of the Society and satanic forces manipulate its members. With Spinorix the imp and Sally, a revenant girl who has been dead since 1735, Edgy discovers a race between Janus and the demon-queen Salome to find the body of arch-demon Moloch. Janus must stop Salome from returning Moloch’s heart to its rightful owner and awakening him.
But Janus is not all he seems, and neither, it would appear, is Edgy. Now it’s a race to save the world that will take them all to the caves of the frozen North – and the truth about where Moloch’s heart really lies, and who wants the demon lord to awaken.
