Illustrated by
Jaime Zollars.
Young women thieves Clem and Georgie return to the cliffside smugglers' inn run by Milo's adoptive parents (Greenglass House); they're flush with loot from a heist gone wrong but missing a movable navigational map they'd hoped to secure. Ghostly girl Meddy reappears and helps Milo penetrate the motives of the inn's idiosyncratic guests. Milford delivers a complicated mystery and eerie ghost story. Zollars's chapter-heading vignette illustrations honor the story's many layers.
