When the ghost of a notorious murderer takes over the body of an upper-class young man, London's preeminent medium Emily Chambers must exorcise it before it can do evil. As if that wasn't enough to worry about, she also had to restrain her feelings for Jacques Beaufort. Unlike the melancholy ghost, the new Theodore Hyde appeared in her life as a handsome, living man. With her life and reputation both on the line, Emily discovers that manipulating the poor people of London's suburbs in search of demonic ghosts can be almost as dangerous as finding her way in a society that believes "monsters" like her belong in the circus.

Seventeen-year-old psychic Emily Chambers has one worry. In fact, several worries. Her ability to see dead people puts a damper on her social life, but as if that's not enough, she must also contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a mysterious past. There was also the question of her birth. Born a full year (yes, a year) after her father's death, and without the snow-white skin of English posh young ladies, Emily is as much of an enigma as the dead boy assigned to her. From the day he died, Jacques Beaufort's soul could not pass through; he was murdered. Maybe there is some connection between the two, maybe not. All he knew was that he was sent to a girl named Emily by the administrator of the underworld. She could see him and touch him. She unleashed a shape-shifting demon, which infiltrated the human world. They must team up to send it back to the underworld before it wreaks havoc on London.
