• Why the hell would you open that?!

Rebekah Harker has enjoyed a quiet Christmas after the disturbing events of the Winter Solstice. Never one to mope, she has amused herself with romantic assignations and by poking around dark corners of the museum, while Amy and Steve visited their families.

But now that her friends are back, Rebekah is forced to confront the events which left her and her understanding of reality shaken. While preparing for a quiet New Year's Eve get-together, a special delivery mysteriously arrives at the museum.

Who could be sending her presents? Especially a package that looks like it was wrapped half a century ago. Could the museum be up to its old tricks?

Pressing her friends into research mode, Rebekah sets out to discover who sent the parcel and what it contains. Of course, all of this would be so much easier if Amy and Steve weren't avoiding each other.

And if she could keep a lid on her own deadly curiosity...

Celebrations will have to wait. A malicious entity is loose in Harker & Blackthorn HQ. And there's a friendship to rescue.

A cryptozoologist's work is never done...
