In this book, almost every one of the Spook's brothers has died. He had six and now he only has one. He had come to the funeral of the latest one after the brother had tried to deal with a ripper (that's a blood sucking boggart), but he had also come to the area to deal with a malevolent entity called the Bane. In trying to deal with the Bane he is injured and he has to go talk to the first magician. But then Alice tries to take the Bane as her familiar. She succeeds but then it starts to take over her! Tom tries to get it out and he is successful, but the Bane nearly kills his master again. After a few weeks, the Spook is fine again, and goes back to the job.
What I liked this book is that there are a few new characters introduced, like the Spook's last brother, Andrew, and Father Carnas who takes the Spook into custody to burn by order of the supreme Inquisitor. What I didn't like about this book is exactly how the Bane looked - it was kind of disgusting. I would rate this as a seven out of ten.
