In his second book, Montmorency spirals into a drug addiction that promises to destroy him. This volume delivers plenty of mystery and intrigue through a compellingly flawed adult character searching as desperately for a sense of self as any adolescent protagonist. That search creates a literary journey filled with unpredictable events, a fast-moving plot, and a fascinating visit to the Victorian era.
