So when the opportunity to snoop around Sir John Woldarc's (a potential secret spy) Gothic mansion arises, Ness jumps at the chance to prove herself and expose the most controversial story she's had the chance to come across. But when Kalum, her brother, unleashes his fury upon hearing that Ness is living at the mansion temporarily, Ness must ask herself whether there's more going on than she may realise...

And what is it about Ewan, Woldarc's seemingly faithful second-in-command, that leaves her feeling so afraid?
