Thirteen-year-old Marigold Bennett unwittingly acquires a briefcase containing a beautiful and mysterious object. What is it, and why will the men in dark suits and wrap-around sunglasses stop at nothing to get their hands on it? Marigold and her younger brother Gideon are plunged headlong into a spooky adventure from which there seems to be no escape. The siblings have no choice but to unravel the frightening mysteries presented before them. Who was the mysterious Dr Black? What shadowy work is carried out at the secretive Hermitage Institute? Could the man with the tattooed hand be hiding his true nature? Most terrifying of all, why has the ghost of a red monk who lived five hundred years ago just begun to haunt the local church? The children soon realise that there can be no conclusion until an ancient injustice has been resolved. Can Marigold and Gideon discover the monk's closely-guarded secret? It won't be easy because he died without telling a single soul.
