After a disastrous photo op, Margaret Locke and her deadman, Theo, need to lay low. But someone is still raising the dead across Candlewick, and it’s Margaret’s job to find them. With only three days to find the culprit, Margaret and her team split up. Robin and Colm open a surprise, Margaret’s brother gives Theo a warm neighborhood welcome, the Corpicks host a family reunion, and Margaret and Nate get down to business at Ogdin's University.
But the closer they get, the murkier the mystery becomes. Necromancers refuse to talk. More dead rise on their own. The city is panicking. Theo is feeling more lively every day, and Margaret's feelings for him are getting complicated—even as the charming, young wizard, Nate, makes his own intentions known.
Margaret has never been good at leaving the past buried, and her ghosts are catching up.
Following the events of Volume 1, Dead Ends: Volume 2 livens up the party with more magic, more action, and more deadmen. Come on in, and leave your body at the door.
