A number of Psychic Investigations Agencies have sprung up to destroy them - with mixed results . . . Lucy Carlyle; a talented young agent; arrives in London hoping to begin a shining new chapter in her career. Instead she finds herself joining Lockwood & Co.; the most ramshackle agency in the city; whose ineptitude is matched only by the charisma of its owner.
