After leaving Lockwood & Co. at the end of The Hollow Boy, Lucy is a freelance operative, hiring herself out to agencies that value her ever-improving skills. One day she is pleasantly surprised by a visit from Lockwood, who tells her he needs a good Listener for a tough assignment. Penelope Fittes, the leader of the giant Fittes Agency wants them—and only them—to locate and remove the Source for the legendary Brixton Cannibal. They succeed in their very dangerous task, but tensions remain high between Lucy and the other agents. Even the skull in the jar talks to her like a jilted lover. What will it take to reunite the team? Black marketeers, an informant ghost, a Spirit Cape that transports the wearer, and mysteries involving Steve Rotwell and Penelope Fittes just may do the trick. But, in a shocking cliffhanger ending, the team learns that someone has been manipulating them all along. . . .

      Emily Bevan's narration is as spine-tingling as the adventures in this fourth Lockwood & Co. story. The quirky mix of chills and humor continues as Bevan deepens the character of heroine Lucy Carlyle. Bevan shows Lucy's frustration at her decision to work apart from her colleagues. Lucy is annoyed with the adults who control her world, in which only the young have the power to see and disarm harmful ghosts. And she's irritated by her partner, a sarcastic skull who pipes up without invitation or respect. Bevan's rendition of the wry skull is laugh-out-loud perfect. Also spot-on is the suspense she brings to the drama of a threatening spirit, the sinister forces behind it, and Lucy's joy at being reunited with her friends. S.W.
