Dead Men’s Boots is the third novel in The Felix Castor series by Mike Carey, a mix of urban fantasy, supernatural horror, and noir detective fiction. Summary: Felix Castor, a freelance exorcist in London, is struggling to make a living when he is drawn into two urgent cases. The first involves a murdered exorcist, John Gittings, whose widow insists it wasn’t suicide. The second is a desperate plea from a lawyer defending a man accused of brutal murders—crimes that may have a supernatural connection. As Castor investigates, he uncovers a web of corruption involving ghosts, demons, and powerful supernatural forces at work. Alongside his allies—Nicky, a paranoid zombie hacker, and Juliet, a succubus attempting to live a normal life—Castor finds himself facing dangers that threaten both the living and the dead. With his usual mix of sarcasm, grit, and clever problem-solving, Castor must unravel the mysteries before more people die—and before he himself ends up in a pair of dead men’s boots.
