Meet the operatives of the Carnacki Institute.

The Institute’s operatives are the best of the best: JC Chance, team leader, is undoubtedly brave, sharp as a tack, incredibly charming – and almost unbearably arrogant. Melody Chambers may be a science geek, but she’s also the techno-wizard extraordinaire who keeps their anti-supernatural equipment running. And as for Happy Jack Palmer: their terminally gloomy telepath is the last person anyone would want navigating through their head.

Their mission: Do Something About Ghosts. That means lay them to rest, send them packing, or just kick their nasty ectoplasmic arses with extreme prejudice . . . Their current is a haunting deep underground, in London’s Oxford Circus tube station, but things become difficult when their rival team – the Crowley Project – get involved.

Ghost of a Chance is the first title in New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green’s Ghost Finders series.
