"Sitting on the rock, with her legs curled by her side, was a young woman of about twenty. She idly played with her long, blonde seaweed-entwined hair, seemingly oblivious to the waves crashing around her. She was softly singing to herself, and it was the saddest tune that the children had ever heard." Whilst on holiday in Cornwall, thirteen-year-old Marigold Bennett and her younger brother Gideon once again find themselves in the midst of a ghostly and terrifying adventure. Mysteries from the past and the present have to be solved, and quickly, for history is about to tragically repeat itself. Can the retired jewel thief be trusted? How can a fortune-teller from New Orleans know so much? Why are so many people taking an interest in the children? What is the man known as Skull involved in? Most perplexing of all, who or what is the singing mermaid, and can she be persuaded to tell her story?
