After her near-fatal run-in with the Jack the Ripper
copycat, Rory Devereaux has been living in Bristol under the
close watch of her parents. So when her therapist suddenly
suggests she return to Wexford, Rory jumps at the chance to
get back to her friends. But Rory’s brush with the
Ripper touched her more than she thought possible: she’s
become a human terminus, with the power to eliminate ghosts
on contact. She soon finds out that the Shades—the city’s
secret ghost-fighting police—are responsible for her return.
The Ripper may be gone, but now there is a string of new
inexplicable deaths threatening London. Rory has evidence
that the deaths are no coincidence. Something much more
sinister is going on, and now she must convince the squad to
listen to her before it’s too late.
In this
follow-up to the Edgar Award-nominated THE NAME OF THE STAR,
Maureen Johnson adds another layer of spectacularly gruesome
details to the streets of London that will keep you on the
edge of your seat until the very end.
