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.

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.

But, in a shocking cliffhanger ending, the team learns that someone has been manipulating them all along …
This is book 4 of a series that I’ve enjoyed from book one. Netflix did a limited series that covered the first two books. The series was good enough to send me to the books. Not surprisingly, as good as the series was, the books are far better. Technically young adult books, they are defiitely good less-young adult entertainment as well.
