Landy, Derek — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Ein Teleporter nach dem anderen wird umgebracht. Wer steckt dahinter? Und was bezwecken der oder die Mörder? 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. Dumm nur, dass der sich als größte Nervensäge auf Erden entpuppt - und dass ihnen nicht nur die Diablerie im Nacken sitzt, sondern auch Remus Crux, der tollpatschigste Detektiv, den die Welt je gesehen hat. Der glaubt doch allen Ernstes, Skulduggery selbst sei der Teleporter-Mörder!
