Lockwood & Co.: The Screaming Staircase

London is experiencing a supernatural crisis: ghosts, haunts, spirits, and specters are appearing throughout the city. Only young people possess the psychic abilities needed to detect and eliminate these entities. Multiple Psychic Detection Agencies have formed to handle this dangerous work, competing fiercely for business. Lucy Carlyle joins Lockwood & Co., a small independent agency led by the charismatic Anthony Lockwood and staffed by the sarcastic George. After an assignment ends in both a grisly discovery and disaster, the three are forced to investigate Combe Carey Hall, one of England's most haunted houses. They must confront the Hall's legendary Screaming Staircase and Red Room to survive. This is the first book in the Lockwood & Co. series, combining action, suspense, humor, and creepy scares.
