When Lucifer leaves the gates of hell unlocked and its creatures begin to walk the earth, the world gets more complicated and deadly for everyone--especially those who already linger close to the border between life and afterlife.
For the Dead Boy Detectives, it means encountering a danger that, for the first time, they can't find their way out of together.

Summary
“Care to divulge what, exactly, this research will consist of?” the Cat King asks.
Edwin keeps his composure, raising one eyebrow only. He has prepared for this.
“I wish to ameliorate the gaps in my knowledge of my ‘sexual identity’. I am also keen to understand the pertinence of this as regards to social and personal relations.”
The Cat King rolls his eyes in exaggerated boredom and stops circling.
“Yawn. You know you could probably just sign up for a degree in Queer Studies at the Open University?”
In return Edwin smiles his blandest, most pleasant smile.
“Of course. How foolish of me. I’ll be off then.”
But as he steps towards the mirror the Cat King intercepts him — all winsome smile and bedroom eyes:
“Hey, look, I’d hate to let you down… I’m sure we can work something out?”
~~
Or: Edwin sets out to research queerness and ends up having a sexual awakening courtesy of the Cat King (amongst other things).

Summary
Edwin Payne was the best necromancer the Fifth House had ever produced. Death had touched his hands and his mouth and his eyes, had cradled his skull and marked him as its favourite son. He had plumbed depths of Fifth House history that had slumbered untouched for centuries, mining long-forgotten seams of knowledge. He had bled for it, starved for it, broken himself open and hollowed himself out. He had made a home of himself for spirit magic, his legs its foundations and his ribcage its vaulted ceiling. He had spoken with the dead, and he had walked the River.
Which was why it was so embarrassing that he was about to be murdered in his bed by some two-bit thug.
Seventy-three years after he was pushed into the River, a liminal place filled with hungry ghosts, Edwin Payne has finally succeeded in clawing his way out. All he wants is to be left alone with his research, but to his dismay, the head of his House insists he take a cavalier to protect him – and to make sure he’s behaving himself. But not everyone is happy to hear that Edwin’s back, and when an attempt on his life by the very man who pushed him into the River all those years ago almost ends in tragedy, it’s time to get even.
