The Madness Underneath
by Maureen Johnson
"After her near-fatal
run-in with the Jack the Ripper copycat, Rory Devereaux has been living
in Bristol under the close watch of her parents. So when her therapist
suddenly suggests she return to Wexford, Rory jumps at the chance to get
back to her friends. But Rory’s brush with the Ripper touched her more
than she thought possible: she’s become a human terminus, with the power
to eliminate ghosts on contact. She soon finds out that the Shades—the
city’s secret ghost-fighting police—are responsible for her return. The
Ripper may be gone, but now there is a string of new inexplicable deaths
threatening London. Rory has evidence that the deaths are no
coincidence. Something much more sinister is going on, and now she must
convince the squad to listen to her before it’s too late.
In this follow-up to the Edgar Award-nominated THE NAME OF THE STAR, Maureen Johnson adds another layer of spectacularly gruesome details to the streets of London that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end."
