The Empty Grave

In 'The Empty Grave,' the thrilling conclusion to Jonathan Stroud's Lockwood & Co. series, the stakes have never been higher for London's most unconventional ghost-hunting agency. As the terrifying 'Problem'—a nationwide epidemic of spectral hauntings—reaches fever pitch, Lockwood, Lucy, George, Holly, and even their former rival Kipps embark on their most dangerous mission yet. Their target: the impenetrable, booby-trapped Fittes Mausoleum, final resting place of the legendary Marissa Fittes, one of the original pioneers of psychic research. But the team suspects the truth behind her death, and indeed her very existence, is far more complex and sinister than anyone believes. What they discover within the mausoleum's depths will not only reveal the true origins of the Problem but also force them to confront betrayals, sacrifices, and the ultimate cost of battling the supernatural. Lucy’s unique abilities, Lockwood’s daring leadership, and George’s meticulous research are all pushed to their limits in a desperate race against time to save humanity from an eternal night of terror, irrevocably changing their lives and the world forever.
