A shy young woman and her deeply unpleasant - and literally porcelain - sister fight for their inheritance, taking on an impossible array of enemies, including a chain-smoking demon crow, an unkillable assassin, and a secret clan of French sorceresses. In his newest adventure from the world of Harrison the Monster Detective, Daryl Gregory (Spoonbenders) takes us on a dizzying yet poignant romp through the horrors of sisterhood. Ruth Winslow is trying to save up enough money to finish college while looking after her sister, Isabel - who happens to be a haunted doll. When an accident severely damages Isabel's porcelain body, the sisters have to find the only woman who can fix her, the fearsome witch known as La Fabricante: the Dollmaker. The sisters head to Marseille, where they take on Le Clan: Chiffon, a red-headed, unkillable assassin; a collection of angry, haunted dolls; plus a pair of demons - one a cigarette-smoking crow, the other a black cat - and their human familiars. Along the way, the sisters learn that they've been lied to their entire lives. Their mother wasn't just a homemaker who died in a car accident, she was a legendary enforcer in the Le Clan des Sorcieres. While Ruth has to come out of her shell and deal with her own latent powers, Isabel has to grow up in a body that can't grow. They'll have to outwit and outfight everyone to claim their birth right.
