Sinopsis

Sandman Slim investigates Death’s death in this hip, propulsive urban fantasy through a phantasmagoric LA rife with murder, mayhem, and magic. 
James Stark has met his share of demons and angels, on earth and beyond. Now, he’s come face to face with the one entity few care to meet: Death. 
Someone has tried to kill Death—ripping the heart right out of him—or rather the body he’s inhabiting. Death needs Sandman Slim’s help: he believes anyone who can beat Lucifer and the old gods at their own game is the only one who can solve his murder. 
Stark follows a sordid trail deep into LA’s subterranean world, from vampire-infested nightclubs to talent agencies specializing in mad ghosts, from Weimar Republic mystical societies to sleazy supernatural underground fight and sex clubs. Along the way he meets a mysterious girl—distinguished by a pair of graveyard eyes—as badass as Slim: she happens to be the only person who ever outwitted Death. But escaping her demise has had dire consequences for the rest of the world . . . and a few others. 
For years, Slim has been fighting cosmic forces bent on destroying Heaven, Hell, and Earth. This time, the battle is right here on the gritty streets of the City of Angels, where a very clever, very ballsy killer lies in wait.

A hilarious farce. 
When the king of the grim reapers's son needs help to take a ghost haunting his home, he asks his father to help remove it but was it a mistake.Good Quotes From The Haunting of the Necromancer 
"We are not fake anythings!" said Lance. 
"I could debate that with you," said Blake. 
"Where is the ghost?" Blake said changing the subject. 
"Now I have a ghost and a grim reaper in my lounge room!" said Lance infuriated. 
"Grand Reaper? What's that?" the ghost asked. 
"Another name for a couch potato!" Lance hissed, 
"Dork why you shouting," said Junior walking in the room. 
"Oh, he's no bother, he has good taste! Anyone who likes Neighbours is alright with me" Blake said. 
"You sure this isn't The Munsters!" Blake asked. 
"I want to watch this!" said the ghost standing up. 
"Quit it stop using the voice let him watch this!" Blake said.

Every wizard's story has a beginning… 
Let’s go back to the night I turned thirteen, the night Grandpa sliced my finger with his cane sword. 
I can’t say what terrified me more, the cold anger in his eyes or the crazy things in his locked study. A talking trunk. Squirming coats. A bookshelf whose titles shifted before my eyes. And one chilling title in particular: Book of Souls. 
Ten years later and I’m en route to a Romanian monastery in search of that lost book. But I’m not the only one. Three others have beaten me to the local village: two researchers and… well, I’m not sure who Flor is, other than Spanish, secretive, and sexier than a summer dress. 
Can I trust her — or any of them? I don’t know, but we’ve got werewolves on our scent, not to mention an ancient curse hanging over the remote ruins. 
Getting there and back is going to require serious cooperation. 
Or serious magic. 
Book of Souls is the first prequel in the Prof Croft Novellas series. If you like occult action, spell-crackling suspense, and moments of heart, heroism, and all-out laughter, you’ll love Prof Croft!
