A young girl lies dead, stabbed with a silver ice pick at a travelling fair.

With Rose a key witness, Perry is once again embroiled in a murder case.

As Perry seeks to find out more about his own past, he's forced to make a bargain with his shadowy associates to help solve the crime.

The Pick is the sequel to The Lock, the second volume in Edward Turbeville's Unlocking series.
