About the Author: Jonathan Stroud is the author of the New York Times best-selling Bartimaeus Trilogy, as well as HEROES OF THE VALLEY, THE LEAP, THE LAST SIEGE AND BURIED FIRE. He lives in England with his family.

Book A sinister Problem has occurred in London: all nature of ghosts, haunts, spirits, and specters are appearing throughout the city, and they aren't exactly friendly.
