Specters, smugglers… and the heist of a lifetime in colonial Hong Kong!
Thief she may be, but Molly Dark has rules: she only ever steals to benefit others—never herself. This time, Molly only wants answers about the death of her father and the worrying persistence of his ghost—answers which almost certainly lie with his former business partner, Sir Humphrey Seton. Yet from the moment Miss Dark arrives on the doorstep of Sir Humphrey's towering Hong Kong mansion, she can't help sensing something rotten in the stifling summer air. Why are there so many barred windows and locked doors at Seton Castle? Why has Lady Seton made a sudden descent into madness? And why is the castle infested with such a catastrophic number of ghosts? It's just possible the answer has something to do with Molly's missing inheritance… but she won't find out, not unless she's willing to break a few of her own rules. Not unless she's willing to steal for herself. And not unless she's ready to trust her crew… including the ex-vampire who stole her heart. Miss Dark and her rag-tag crew venture to the Far East in this whimsical gaslamp fantasy heist, in which Leverage meets The Parasol Protectorate! Join Miss Dark's expedition to Hong Kong's haunted colonial mansions. Contains a special note from the author.
