NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The second installment in The Shades of London series, a must-read for fans of gripping mysteries and supernatural tales where the paranormal intertwines with the ordinary.

“A gorgeously written, chilling, atmospheric thriller.”—Cassandra Claire, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Creepy, clever and ambiguous second volume in the Shades of London series.”—Kirkus Reviews

A new threat haunts the streets of London . . .

Rory Deveaux has changed in ways she never could have imagined since moving to London and beginning a new life at boarding school. As if her newfound ability to see ghosts hadn’t complicated her life enough, Rory’s recent brush with the Jack the Ripper copycat has left her with an even more unusual and intense power. Now, a new string of inexplicable deaths is threatening London, and Rory has evidence that they are no coincidence. Something sinister is going on, and it is up to her to convince the city’s secret ghost-policing squad to listen before it’s too late.

“A gorgeously written, chilling, atmospheric thriller.”—Cassandra Claire, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Creepy, clever and ambiguous second volume in the Shades of London series . . . As always, Johnson wields words with a supple facility that keeps those pages turning. The London minutiae are utterly engaging, the villains satisfyingly weird and numerous. And there is kissing.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Rory’s internal monologue sparkles with the wit that Johnson’s fans recognize, which is plenty entertaining. The second half will satisfy readers’ craving for what they came for—Rory’s investigation of London’s latest ghost crimes—while laying tragic groundwork for the next book.”—Publishers Weekly

“Readers will remain on the edge of their seats. . . . Johnson’s sharp wit is ever-present, and her heroine is the perfect blend of snark and teen anxiety.”—School Library Journal
