The action-packed sequel to Silas and the Winterbottoms. Evil Uncle Silas is dead, but his spirit still haunts Sommerset - even in death he will not let go of his nephew and nieces. Milo is troubled by nightmares of the uncle who tried to steal his body and a dark secret he must hide from his cousins; Adele is enthralled by the journals of Captain Bloom and his adventures in the jungles of Budatta, unaware of how important the Captain will become when tragedy strikes; and snooty Isabella is plotting her way to even greater fame and fortune. A sudden disappearance will rock the cousins' world and each Winterbottom will have to battle old ghosts as they fight to save their Aunt Rosemary - and each other.
