It begins with a dead body at the far end of Baker Street tube station, all that remains of American exchange student James Gallagher��nd the victim�� wealthy, politically powerful family is understandably eager to get to the bottom of the gruesome murder.

With Inspector Nightingale, the last registered wizard in England, tied up in the hunt for the rogue magician known as ��he Faceless Man,��it�� up to Peter to plumb the haunted depths of the oldest, largest, and��s of now��eadliest subway system in the world.
