The Faceless Ones. Four Teleporters have been found dead, but Valkyrie Cain and Skulduggery Pleasant are not on the case. The Sanctuary has chosen to hire rival detective Remus Crux instead, but naturally, Skulduggery and Valkyrie can’t just stand by while Teleporters continue to go missing.
The Faceless Ones' universe was a universe mostly destroyed by the Faceless Ones, along with plenty of other universes, after they broke through the barren dimension that they were sent to by the Ancients from Skulduggery Pleasant's universe.
Skulduggery Pleasant, the skeleton detective, and his sidekick, fourteen-year-old Valkyrie Cain, known to her Irish friends as Steph, are unofficially on the case. The only remaining Teleporter, Fletcher Renn, is an impressionable seventeen-year-old, whom they need to use as bait.
Praise for The Faceless Ones: - ”'A fast evolving plot and a great mix of scariness and humour” - Sunday Express ”'Fast and funny” - The Times ”'A magical mystery that grabs you from the first word and doesn’t let go, not even when you’re finished, and leaves you gasping for more like a fish out of water. Terrifyingly good!”
