Twelve year-old Stephanie Edgley is surprised when she learns that her late uncle, a wealthy bestselling author, has inherited her the bulk of his fortune and his home. But even more they surprise the completely masked man Skulduggery Pleasant, who is present at the funeral and the reading of the will. As Stephanie has to spend the night alone in her uncle's house because of a roadblock and a defective car, there is a slump. The unknown intruder demanded by Stephanie a key to his master and begins to strangle her. Rescued she is suddenly in the billowing skulduggery which turns out to be walking skeleton with magical abilities. Stephanie decides to find out more about the world in which there is magic and creatures such skulduggery and accompanied him in the night. Skulduggery Pleasant is a late elementary magician who now works as an investigator and has already solved with Stephanie's uncle some cases. Stephanie followed him to China Sorrows, a collector, from which they learned that behind the slump could put the search for the scepter of the forefathers. The object of desire was created myths result of the magic race of the forefathers in order that their gods, the Faceless defeat. It provides an incredibly powerful weapon is that someone, how could use Skulduggerys adversary the Necromancer Nefarian serpins, to retrieve the human-hating Faceless.

First indications of the scepter Skulduggery hopes that his tailor, in his family collection, many texts on the founding fathers are. But this does not believe in the scepter and will not help Pleasant. However, for Stephanie, he designed a new, black and very resistant outfit. Nevertheless, in order to get to the information, the two decide to break into the family collection and to look around a bit. Stephanie is thrilled. Only two wild vampires are the two in the way. After they have roped off the roof of the building and sneaked past the vampires in the collection, you will discover a stone that can answer them a few questions about the scepter. Skulduggery now believed that Stephanie's uncle got it in his possession and it hid before his death in the caves under his home again. But before they can explore the caves, they are surprised at the home of Nefarian serpins and his henchmen. Overwhelm Pleasant and take him. Now it's up to Stephanie to save skulduggery from the clutches of the Necromancer.

Derek Landy created with Skulduggery Pleasant / The gentleman with the Feuerhand a fascinating new world of magic and monsters seem to be possible in all. The protagonist himself delivers witty battle of words and, despite its morbid appearance a huge popular figure. The plot of the book is largely told from the perspective of Stephanie. This wants to be take again for no amount of money their interference in the dangerous realm of magic and are an enchantress necessarily even. The odd couple is the center of a rousing story about courage and secrets, many of which can still be aired. Exciting adventures for further Skulduggery Pleasant volumes are therefore inevitable.
