Fleeing her mother's murderers, a London teenager discovers an underground world of thieves and ghosts in this dark urban fantasy series debut.
Jasmine Towne and her mother have always been taken care of by men known only as the Uncles. But Jazz was raised to always beware. And she discovers why on the day she finds her paranoid mother murdered. Her mother's last words, scrawled in her own blood, demand action: JAZZ HIDE FOREVER.
Seeking cover in the London Underground, Jazz slips through a mysterious gate—and seemingly through time. Inside an abandoned city of bomb shelters and forgotten Tube stations, she finds temporary refuge with a gang of petty thieves. But flashes of the past, spectral and haunting, share the tunnels with no regard for the living. Now Jazz must ask herself a difficult question: how long can she hide from the terrors of both her worlds?

"Magical realism at its finest...with mystery, magic, ghosts and a fascinating subterranean world."—Sfrevu.com

      Dark fantasists Golden (The Myth Hunters
      ) and Lebbon (Dawn
      ) pair up for the first time in this macabre tale that recalls Holly Black’s acclaimed Valiant
      . As wary teenager Jasmine Towne runs from the mysterious Uncles who killed her mother, an impulsive dash into an Underground tunnel takes her to Deep Level Shelter 7-K, where she falls in with a group of homeless thieves led by the raggedly elegant Harold Pilkington Fowler. Jazz knows to fear the Uncles, who are stalking her for some magical purpose, but she never expected to see ghosts or hear “the restless spirit of the old city” wailing in the tunnels. With the help of enigmatic burglar Terence, Jazz investigates her mother’s murder and her own mysterious origins and powers. Occasional gaps in the story logic are easy to miss amid the super-fast pacing and creepy touches that give this teen adventure plenty of character.
