When tragedy strikes close to home, Delores, Prudence and Gabriel are thrown into their darkest, most dangerous mystery yet. For fans of Lockwood and Co.

'When she turned back, there was no air, no space, no darkness: just Temperance's face blasting towards her, screaming with such force that Delores felt the vibrations through her cheekbones to the back of her skull.'

The ghoulish victim of a decades-old murder is hunting Delores down. Rage-filled and unpredictable, Temperance Darrow is screaming for justice from beyond the grave. Delores' greatest challenge yet will take her and her friends from Edinburgh Old Town to far beyond the Arctic Circle chasing after a mysterious book, a legend and a killer. But Fabian Vikander, Grand Master of the Paranormal High Council, is watching, and Prudence's unstable shapeshifting threatens to land them all in jail – or worse.

Read the final instalment of this supernatural series, perfect for spooky winter nights. And don't forget to also catch up with the first two books in the series: The Dark and Dangerous Gifts of Delores Mackenzie and The Haunted Life of Delores Mackenzie – both available now!

Yvonne Banham grew up on an island off the coast of Cumbria and spent lots of time huddled on the wild beach with a scary book. When she left school, she couldn't decide whether to be a nurse, an artist, or a writer, so she tried them all but liked writing best. She believes in ghosts though she's never met one, and after five gloriously spooky years in Edinburgh, she now lives in Stirlingshire with her husband and their bold little terrier Bertie. When she's not writing, she's either hiking in the nearby hills or checking out creepy locations in search of new stories.
