The Maleficent Seven (From The World Of Skulduggery Pleasant) - Plot & Excerpts
Simple. Finding Johann Starke’s house? Easy. Breaking into said house? Not a problem. Breaking into said house while remaining undetected? Surprisingly difficult. Kneeling here on this highly polished floor with his hands up and half a dozen sickle blades aimed at his throat, Dexter Vex wasn’t exactly in the mood to look back over his plan to pick out the flaws, but he knew they were there, and that was the important thing. Hubris, he figured, was a killer. “Mr Vex,” said Johann Starke, “I have to say, I am as surprised as I am disappointed. I would not have thought a man of your reputation would stoop so low as to engage in robbery.” “Johann,” Vex said, giving him a smile, “there’s really no need for hostilities. Isn’t there somewhere we can talk?” “We’re talking right here,” said Johann, “with you and your associates on your knees and very much under arrest.” They were in a large circular room with glass walls. The sun came in through the trees that bordered the lake and the glare hit Vex right in the eyes.
