Any More Questions for the Corpse?

When a young necromancer investigates a string of deaths in the hidden magical capital of England, the dead come back to haunt him-in more ways than one.Twenty-one-year-old Malowin Gladstone was raised by the dead-two skeletons to be precise. While his parents keep a close eye-socket on him, he just wants to get through the rest of university without using any more of his much-loathed necromancy. A hope that gets all the more difficult when he's recruited by a secret Order to hunt a serial killer. Dunwich, the hidden magical capital of England, has its fair share of oddities, its most recent being a series of murders that have the police at a dead end. But Detective Walters has an unorthodox suggestion. Who better to find a killer than someone who can talk to the dead? He proposes that Mal use his necromancy for good and solve the case before it goes stone-cold.As more bodies begin to drop, Mal befriends several misfits who help him unearth the culprit. Among them, Des, a fledgling vampire; Hala, a magical empath; and Yu, a shapeshifting genius.The team put their unique set of skills to the task, but as they get closer to digging up the truth, the group's ghosts come back to haunt them, and the killer won't rest until they're all dead and buried.
