Bad Magic. Derek Landy. 2023.

 A small town in the middle of Ireland, a string of unexplained deaths and a monster on the loose. Better call in the experts.

When Skullduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain drive into Termoncara, they discover a town with a dark past and a people haunted by their own secrets. There is a creature stalking the streets - a creature who delights in cruelty, who feeds off the little hatreds, who grows stronger with every drop of blood spilled.
