Kelpie is unwittingly then drawn into the rivalry between Mr Davidson and Gloriana, is followed and harangued constantly by the ghost of Jimmy and unbeknownst to her is teaming up with a girl (Dymphna) who is not only the same age, but also has the same gift of seeing ghosts but chooses to keep it quiet. When one of them goads her into going into a house to steal some apples, Kelpie stumbles across the brutal murder of Jimmy who has had his throat slashed by a razor, his girlfriend and "best girl" (i.e prostitute ) Dymphna of one of the crime gang's madams Gloriana Nelson. Even though this book was quite violent and contains very mature concepts for young adults, I absolutely LOVED it and couldn't put it down! Kelpie is a homeless girl on the streets of Sydney in 1932 with an unusual gift - she can see ghosts.
