Matilda and Edgar are in London's haunted theatre-land, where Matilda is rehearsing the all-new Signora Valentina show and Edgar is training to become a poltergeist. Spooks are everywhere in this city, and it isn't long before Lockett & Wilde are called upon to investigate strange happenings at a local curiosity shop.
Soon they are drawn into the unsolved case of the infamous gold thief, Bullion Bill, and Matilda finds herself investigating the story of her own parents' death. The ghosts of London know the truth, and Lockett & Wilde won't rest until they find it out.
Classic spooky mystery reimagined for fans of cosy crime. You'd have to be DEAD not to love it...

About the Author
Lucy Strange is the bestselling author of The Secret of Nightingale Wood, the Waterstones Prize-shortlisted Our Castle by the Sea, and The Island at the Edge of Night. Her books capture elements of classic children’s literature in a style that is engaging and accessible for today’s readers. Often inspired by the gothic genre, folklore and fairy tales, Lucy combines British landscapes and historical settings with touches of the supernatural, creating convincing worlds in which anything might happen... Right now, Lucy is probably sitting in her writing shed at the bottom of her garden, gazing out over the misty meadows of the Kent countryside, dreaming up her next fantastical tale.
Illustrator Biography Pam Smy is the award-winning author-illustrator of Thornhill (shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize) and The Hideaway. She has illustrated many other books for children and is Senior Lecturer on the MA in Children's Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art.
