SummaryWhen Sophie Madrigal sets out to exact vengeance on Ivo
Hardwick, accompanied by her aunt Juniper, her pug dog
Tybalt, and the dwarf Dmitri, she doesn't expect to stumble
over Gabriel Caine. Gabriel, a Pinkerton man who is also out
to get Hardwick, wants to bring the villain to justice. To
Sophie, the only justice appropriate for Hardwick is death.
Administered by her.
It doesn't help either Sophie or Gabriel that, while on
their individual quests, they keep bumping into the magic
they inadvertently create whenever they get together.
Sophie's family has been in the spiritualist business for
ages. Sophie's always reviled the family business, believing
it to be so much hokum -- until now.
As for Gabriel, the son of revivalist preachers, he's as
cynical as a man can be -- until he meets his fate in
Sophie.
