Lucy Carlyle has left Lockwood & Co. and is working alone as a freelance psychic investigator. When Anthony Lockwood asks her to return for a dangerous case, she joins the team in facing the ghost of the Brixton Cannibal. Their mission leads them into haunted houses, secret dealings and London’s shadowy supernatural world. As Lucy struggles with old tensions and the talking skull’s unsettling advice, the agents uncover a conspiracy that reaches far beyond one haunting—and threatens everyone who fights the Problem.
