A powerful teen thriller with echoes of J G Ballard's Empire of the
Sun and Miracles of Life ... Obsessed with martial arts and ghost
stories, Ruby is part of a gang of Chinese and ex-pat children who
hide out in ruined White Cloud Temple. But the world of Shanghai in
the late 1920s is driven with danger: disease, crime, espionage and
revolution are sweeping the streets. And since the death of her
younger brother Thomas, Ruby is stalked by another anxiety and
fear. Faced with a series of local hauntings, and armed with a
lucky bookshop find - The Almanac of Distant Realms - Ruby forms
the Shanghai Ghost Club to hunt down restless spirits. When best
friend Faye is kidnapped by the Green Hand, Ruby must trust a
mysterious stranger - and face her worst fears - in order to save
her friends, and her own life. And in the ensuing fight she will
catch a glimpse of the one spirit she has longed to see ... The
secrets that Ruby's father and friends have kept from her are
coming back to haunt them all.
