Skulduggery Pleasant: A Small Matter of Impending Catastrophe by Derek Landy is a fantasy adventure mystery from the Skulduggery Pleasant series. Published by HarperCollins Children’s Books, it is the book version of the second Skulduggery Pleasant podcast.

The story begins with a mystery from 1962, when three sorcerers met in a hidden chamber near a disused London Underground platform. A prophecy claimed that the winner would hold humanity’s fate in their hands, but decades later, the truth of what happened remains buried.

Now, the people investigating that long-forgotten event are being murdered, and a dangerous killer appears to be following a plan. Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain must step into the case, bringing magic, danger, investigation, and their usual sharp humour into a race against catastrophe.
