Illustrated by
Ian Schoenherr.
Magic, science, and the demands of international espionage continue to plague Janie and Benjamin (The Apothecary; The Apprentice). This time Benjamin struggles with the temptation to contact his dead father via a dangerous form of magic, and Janie worries about the consequences. On the other side of the world, a loose nuclear weapon requires their attention as well. A satisfying conclusion to an intriguing trilogy.
