It’s been two years since Dinah Collins left the NYPD in disgrace, forced out for digging too deeply into the sudden disappearance of a fellow cop - her brother, Danny. Now, scraping by as a PI, Dinah is hired to find a young woman, Lucy Fisher, who vanished on Halloween, last seen wearing a creepy costume. As she pursues a deadly trail of clues, Dinah will find she’s faced with a terrible choice: If she can only save one person, Danny or Lucy, who will it be?

It is June, and Shit is sad. She knows she will not get to leave her neighbourhood that summer, and the beach is far, far away, and that clouds, like the bottom of a donkey's belly, will hover all summer over her town, high among the volcanoes of northern Tenerife. But Shit—our nine-year-old narrator—has a best friend, Isora.  Shit likes everything about Isora. The colour of her arms and her hair and her eyes. Her handwriting and the way she wrote the letter g with a huge tail. The way she called her shit because poop was a beautiful thing.
