Lockwood and Co.

==Summary==
Lockwood and Co. is a young-adult five-part book series written by Jonathan Stroud. The series is narrated in first person by Lucy Carlyle.
The series is set in an alternate version of Earth wherein ghosts are true creatures, rather than those of myth and legend. To combat this threat, psychic detection agencies have sprung up across England and Wales, the countries affected by the Problem. One of these agencies is the titular Lockwood and Co.
The books detail the adventures of the trio of protagonists, and their adventures dealing with all threats, supernatural and physical. All the while, as they dig themselves deeper into a web of political mystery, the true origin of the Problem becomes clear...
==Power of the Verse==
The presence of ghosts in the verse has caused technological progress to be altered rapidly. Since the Problem's inception in the 1960's, technological progress in other areas has stunted immensely as humanity works to deal with the ghost problem, meaning that most characters in the verse barely break into 9-B.
However, ghost-hunting techniques have vastly improved since it became common knowledge that children under the age of 20 could gain one or more of the psychic talents of Sight, Touch or Listening, granting them enhanced senses, psychometry and the ability to see what should be invisible. Specially crafted rapiers also allow agents to make contact with the otherwise intangible ghosts.
The ghosts of the verse are also extremely powerful, invisible and intangible with a durability-negating Ghost Touch, and regeneration up to Low-Godly. Plus, the most powerful ghosts can paralyse people with their mere presence.
