2019/50: The Jackal's House -- Anna Butler

"I am very pleased to make your acquaintance, Master Winter." I would have said more, but I couldn't offhand remember the words of the ritual of exorcism, and a simple "Avaunt, ye daemonic spawn of Satan!" was likely to hurt [his father's] feelings. [p. 22]

Not as much fun as The Gilded Scarab, possibly just because it was set in Aegypt rather than London Londinium (and there was rather less coffee, and fewer cold-fusion pistols).( very minor spoilers ... )
