by Maureen Johnson

Part of Shades of London

First published 2015

Rory's world has shattered. Sudden tragedies have torn through her ghost-hunting squad, leaving her desperate to know if she saved one of her teammates in time. But how do you track down someone who might already be dead? Meanwhile, her classmate Charlotte has vanished into the hands of Jane's sinister organization. The evidence paints a terrifying picture: a cult operating for four decades, ten missing teenagers, and signs pointing to mass murder. Charlotte's life hangs in the balance as something far worse approaches. Rory must locate her missing friends while the ghost squad battles to prevent Jane from releasing supernatural terror across London. Their investigation reveals a secret organization woven into the city's very foundation. Along the way, Rory discovers that someone close to her has been hiding a massive secret that changes everything she thought she knew.
