In this “creepy, tense, and wonderful” ( Kirkus Reviews ) third installment of the New York Times bestselling Shades of London series, a group of friends finds themselves in the midst of a series of tragic events that leave them searching for answers. “Heavily laced with humor and genuine creepiness, this well-crafted thriller is a winner.”— School Library Journal Rory and her friends are reeling from a series of sudden and tragic events. While racked with grief, Rory tries to determine if she acted in time to save a member of the squad. If she did, how do you find a ghost? Also, Rory’s classmate Charlotte has been kidnapped by Jane and her nefarious organization. Evidence is uncovered of a forty-year-old cult, ten missing teenagers, and a likely mass murder. Everything indicates that Charlotte’s in danger, and it seems that something much bigger and much more terrible is coming. Time is running out as Rory fights to find her friends and the ghost squad struggles to stop Jane from unleashing her spectral nightmare on the entire city. In the process, they’ll discover the existence of an organization that underpins London itself—and Rory will learn that someone she trusts has been keeping a tremendous secret.
