In 1962, three sorcerers converged to do battle in a hidden chamber near a disused platform in the London Underground. Prophecy foretold that the victor would hold the very fate of humanity in their hands. Since then… nothing. Now, the people who are trying to find out exactly what happened all those years ago are being murdered – there is a killer coming after them, a killer with a plan – and their only hope for survival lies with Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain.

Fifteen-year-old Ryan is running away from home, looking for escape and adventure. But unfortunately, sometimes people do get what they wish for. Ryan hasn’t gone far before he is set upon by a bunch of scary, nihilistic punk-sorcerers who need him to set off a doomsday device that will destroy the planet and everyone on it. Fun! Riding to the rescue, however, is a certain skeleton detective and his teenage partner/combat accessory. Now Skulduggery and Valkyrie only have a few hours to figure out what's going on, while saving Ryan and – incidentally – the whole world.

Skulduggery has to blend in with the teaching staff, while Valkyrie has to pass for an ordinary schoolgirl. Above all else, no matter what happens, they both must act completely and utterly normal.

Ein Serienkiller treibt sein Unwesen in Roarhaven und Umgebung. Die Opfer verbindet auf den ersten Blick nichts miteinander, außer die sehr fantasievolle, detailverliebte Todesart. Skulduggery und Walküre tappen im Dunkeln, aber dann erhalten sie eine codierte Nachricht vom Täter. Der Mörder nennt sich "Ersatz" und will die Detektive offenbar testen.

Während ihre Freundinnen sich zu Pyjamapartys treffen, verbringt sie ihre Zeit mit einem lebendigen Skelett. Um die Welt zu retten, versteht sich. Baron Vengeous, einer der gefährlichsten Gegenspieler Skulduggerys, ist aus dem Gefängnis geflohen. Er hat einst ein Wesen geschaffen, das die Macht besitzt, die Gesichtslosen zurückzuholen. Nun will der Baron jenes Wesen erwecken - und somit den Weg für das Böse ebnen.

Seit der großen Schlacht ist Skulduggery in der Welt der Gesichtslosen verschwunden. Nur ein Wunder kann ihn jetzt noch retten - oder Walküre: Sie muss ganz schnell seinen Kopf finden, der ihm einst von drei Kobolden in Irland gestohlen wurde. Während Walküre um die halbe Welt reist, wird der Magier Skarabäus nach 200 Jahren Gefängnis entlassen. Zwar hat er seine Zauberkräfte eingebüßt, doch seine Rachelust ist ungebrochen. Sofort schart er einen Kreis der schlimmsten Übeltäter um sich, unter ihnen auch Remus Crux, der die Seiten gewechselt hat.

Ein Teleporter nach dem anderen wird umgebracht. Gut, dass Stephanie ihr Spiegelbild hat, das für sie in die Schule geht und die Hausaufgaben macht. In ihrem neuesten Fall müssen Skulduggery und Stephanie einen jungen Teleporter namens Fletcher Renn beschützen.

Serienurknall in der Hölle! Wir befinden uns im Jahr 1703 in der Toskana. Dort hält sich gerade Skulduggerys Erzwidersacher Mevolent auf. An diesem wollen er und die Toten Männer sich endlich rächen, doch dann taucht der irische Großmagier Meritorius auf, der ihnen genau das Gegenteil aufträgt: Sie sollen Mevolent vor dem Attentäter Arbor Strickent beschützen. Denn Mevolent ist der einzige Zauberer, der die Porta dell‘ Inferno, einen Zugang zur Hölle, in dem eine zerstörerische Gottheit lauert, wieder schließen kann. Deshalb muss er am Leben bleiben - erst einmal.

Ganz überraschend stirbt Stephanies Onkel, der Schriftsteller Gordon Edgeley. Der geheimnisvolle Freund des Onkels, Skulduggery Pleasant, entpuppt sich als gut gekleidetes Skelett...
