About the book
Now wasn’t the time to reflect on all the things Miss Prescott longed to do in life. Aside from Mephistopheles’s strange midnight bargain and Miss Prescott’s murder, there was the constant weight of worry over Liza. A stilt walker in ghostly shades of white and gray tottered down the promenade, her disjointed movements an eerie sight against the darkness of the ocean. Perhaps he’s finally made a bad bargain—which isn’t unexpected.
