Skulduggery Pleasant: The Faceless Ones
Book three in the Skulduggery Pleasant series
by Derek Landy
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. Thankfully he's quite good looking.
Fantastical creatures and acts of sorcery litter this book. Danger stalks every page and adrenalin constantly pumps hard. A rollercoaster of a read, unsuitable for the faint-hearted or squeamish.

Derek Landy
Before writing his children's story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, Derek Landy wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous thriller in which everybody dies.
As a black belt in Kenpo Karate he has taught countless children how to defend themselves, in the hopes of building his own private munchkin army. He firmly believes that they await his call to strike against his enemies (he doesn't actually have any enemies, but he's assuming they'll show up, sooner or later).
Derek lives on the outskirts of Dublin, and the reason he writes his own biography blurb is so that he can finally refer to himself in the third person without looking pompous or insane.
