A city besieged by spirits? A cannibal risen from the dead? There’s only one ghost-hunting team you need …

Lucy has left Lockwood & Co. A freelance operative, she is hiring herself out to other agencies ? agencies that might value her ever-improving skills. But now Lockwood needs her help.

Penelope Fittes, leader of the well-renowned Fittes Agency, wants Lockwood & Co. ? and only them ? to locate and remove the ?Source? for the legendary Brixton Cannibal. It?s a tough assignment. Made worse by the tensions between Lucy and the other agents ? even the skull is treating her like a jilted lover!

What will it take to reunite the team? Black marketeers, an informant ghost, a Spirit Cape that transports the wearer, and mysteries involving their closest rivals may just do the trick.

But not all is at it seems. And it?s not long before a shocking revelation rocks Lockwood & Co. to its very core …
