"Stroud is a genius." --Rick Riordan

The now notorious outlaws Scarlett and Browne are back in their second death-defying adventure--and this time it's not just their own lives on the line. . . .

Albert and Scarlett are a formidable pair. With his ability to read minds and her way with a weapon, no bank can keep them out and no jail can keep them in.
But their notoriety may have spread a bit too far. Now old enemies from Scarlett's past and a sinister new threat from Albert's world are boxing them in--and holding their friends hostage.
To win their freedom, the outlaws Scarlett and Browne are charged with pulling off an impossible mission.
And the clock is ticking . . .

Fans of Jonathan Stroud's The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne won't want to miss their next adventure.
