A roaring, supernatural adventure that spans New York, and
the globe!After their parents' plane goes down over the
ocean, Leo and his brother Hollis are forced into the
custody of their rich and enigmatic uncle Crane, a dealer of
rare and probably illicit antiques. But almost as soon as
he's settled--or as close to settled as he can get in the
bleak Brooklyn mansion, surrounded by his uncle's dubious
staff--Leo receives a mysterious package his father put
together long ago, to be opened on his 13th birthday. With
the package, Leo discovers he has an amazing ability. He can
hear the history of any object by touching it. But when Leo
finds a strange helmet buried among his uncle's artifacts,
and hears a pained cry coming from it, a mystery unravels as
to its origin.
