    Меня зовут Люси Карлайл и я работаю в агентстве "Локвуд и компания". Нас всего трое: я, Энтони (он же Локвуд) и Джордж. Мы занимаемся тем, что ловим призраков и спасаем от них Лондон. Вообще-то, это только звучит просто, на самом деле все гораздо сложнее. Существует великое множество призраков и их разновидностей, и большинство из них смертельно опасны, и даже наше супероружие: рапиры, железные цепи и банки с греческим огнем - не всегда эффективно. Впрочем, в нашем агентстве трусов нет. В Челси случилось небывалое нашествие призраков. Чтобы справиться с ним правительство собрало огромную команду агентов, но ситуация стала лишь хуже. Разумеется, мы не могли остаться в стороне и присоединились к расследованию. С подобным наша команда еще никогда не сталкивалась! Гигантский кластер сверхъестественных явлений, избавиться от которого можно только разгадав хитроумную загадку и объединившись с конкурентами. А я как назло совершила непростительную ошибку, которая едва не стоила мне жизни. Короче говоря, новое дело настолько опасно, что неизвестно, не станет ли оно для нас последним...
