Lizzie blamed Cormac. Stealing the silver tea-set was all his idea, and now they can’t get into heaven until it’s returned to Old Whelan. They need help, but who can they turn to? “I've just thought, Cormac. That awful cousin of yours, Imelda. The house is hers now. Hers and poor Dermot's and those noisy twins, David and Dora.” Might it be possible for them to make friends with the twins? “Lizzie stopped short as the front door was suddenly thrown open and in rushed the cold, night air, followed by two large children who tripped over the boxes in the hall and fell down laughing.” Things get even more complicated when the villain, John the Pots, gets involved. He wants the tea-set for himself; he could sell it for a lot of money. “Someone moved in the dark. Someone who peered and moved, his eyes raking the house and garden.” All seems lost until Cormac and Lizzie meet Jamesy, an old ghost who knows a lot, and has an idea, but will it work . . .
