The final book in the Lockwood saga. Join Lucy, Lockwood, George and Holly for one last time as they battle ghosts and humans for truth and justice in this breathtaking finale to the bestselling series.
Jonathan Stroud was born in Bedford in 1970. After studying English Literature at York University, he moved to London, where he worked as an editor at a publishing firm. He is the author of the best-selling Bartimaeus sequence, which is published in 35 languages and has sold 6 million copies worldwide; the much-beloved Lockwood & Co. series (soon to be a major Netflix series) as well as The Notorious Scarlett & Browne; Heroes of the Valley; The Last Seige; The Leap and Buried Fire. He lives in Hertfordshire with his family. He has yet to see a ghost, but is keeping his eyes open.
Stroud at the top of his game

A brilliant culmination to a splendidly scary series
*Metro*
Stroud’s prose is evocative . . . and his horrors, pattering in the
footsteps of M. R. James, depend more on the reader’s imagination
than the writer’s gruesome welter. His humour is also perfectly
judged, never undermining the terror, but allowing the reader to
bask in the camaraderie of London’s smallest, most slapdash and
unlikely ghost-hunting agency, the eponymous Lockwood and Co.
Throughout the series, he has achieved great feats of
characterisation.

A devilishly good combination of engaging cast, memorable
locations, comforting food and delicious pace all sewn together
with seriously good, unaffected writing, The Empty Grave is the
full monty; entertainment, excitement and intelligence sprinkled
with wit and verve and sparkling throughout with an endorphin-laced
exploration of a liminal frontier – in this case the very boundary
between the living and the dead. The Empty Grave is a fitting and
extraordinary end to a remarkable series; I am very envious of
those who are yet to discover Lockwood & Co. for themselves.
*Playing By The Book*
[T]he thrilling finale to the multi award-winning series, and the
excitement and tension are held right to the very end. Sad to see a
great series reach its conclusion, but better to go out on a high
note, as this does.
