And when she discovers that the Dead are rising in Philadelphia and wreaking havoc throughout the city, she knows that her brother is involved in some way. So Eleanor enlists the help of the Spirit-Hunters, a motley crew hired to protect the city from supernatural forces, believing their skills can save her brother. But as Eleanor spends time with the Spirit-Hunters, especially their handsome inventor, Daniel, the situation becomes dire. Now, not only is her reputation on the line, but her very life may hang in the balance.Susan Dennard weaves together vividly imagined scenes of action, adventure, and gorgeous Victorian fashion to create an entertaining tapestry of humor, horror, and romance.
