Mysteriös, magisch und manchmal tödlich ... Willkommen auf Unholy Island! Esme Gray leitet das Gästehaus und ist als Wächterhexe für die Schutzzauber der Insel verantwortlich. Luke Taylor sucht seit Monaten nach seinem verschwundenen Zwillingsbruder. Besucher dürfen dort nicht länger als zwei Nächte bleiben.

London ist nun Lydia Crows Revier und dass ein Mann erhängt an der Blackfriars Bridge gefunden wird, nimmt sie persönlich. Getrieben von ihrem Gerechtigkeitssinn – und der zähen Auftragslage ihrer neu gegründeten Privatdetektei – nimmt Lydia die Ermittlungen auf. Selbst als es den Anschein macht, als wären die Silvers in die Sache verwickelt, schreckt Lydia nicht zurück.

Lydia wusste immer schon, dass sie über keinerlei magische Kräfte verfügte – schon gar nicht im Vergleich zu ihrer berüchtigten, am Rande der Legalität operierenden Familie. Daher hat sie sich auch ein Leben fernab von London und eine Karriere als Privatermittlerin aufgebaut. Ein berufliches Missgeschick zwingt sie jedoch zur sofortigen Rückkehr nach Hause, wo das Familienoberhaupt auch sogleich einen Gefallen von ihr einfordert. Ehe sie sich versieht, ermittelt Lydia im Fall ihrer verschwundenen Cousine Maddie.
