Life is complicated for Lydia Smith. She's working at that
tacky, third-rate museum, Shrimpton's House of Ancient Horrors, trying to
salvage her career in para- archaeology and dating the most dangerous man in
town. Just when she thinks she might be getting things under control, she
stumbles over a dead body and discovers that her lover has a secret past that
could get him killed.
Just to top things off,
trouble is brewing underground in the eerie, glowing green passageways of the Dead
City and that dynamic dust-bunny, Fuzz, has a couple of surprises up his tatty,
furry sleeve. Of course, all of those problems pale in comparison to the most
pressing issue: Lydia
has been invited to the Restoration Ball and she hasn't got a thing to wear.
