Tensions rise to dangerous levels in Manhattan as the Soul Ripper's horrific murder spree reaches beyond the streets of the Otherground and into the city at large. Sophia's only lead comes from Joan Alastor, a retired detective with a hex on her head and a chip on her shoulder. To find out what Joan knows, a bargain must be struck and what she wants in return may be more than Sophia and the O.C.T. can offer.
