Jason Trone, former thief, finds himself in a clandestine meeting with his sister Clara and the enigmatic Greyfriar Bergeron, in a surprising location.
The extensive galleries of the Nollingwood Museum of Art and Antiquities, filled with displays of ancient sculptures, artifacts and other artworks, make it easy to walk and talk.
Bergeron wants their help recovering one of his father's missing sculptures. Lost in Morgenfeld's vast and labyrinthine spaces.
An impossible task.
Jason, though, might know the right people to ask.
But what his lines of questioning bring might just set off a cascade that could put Morgenfeld's very existence at stake.
And Jason faces the very real possibility of being the one person who can stop it happening.
A dark and dangerous novel that hurtles into new depths of the endless city.
