“Readers will no doubt enjoy the action-packed scenes and quick getaways . . . an engaging thriller.”—VOYA

“This one has a heroine worth cheering for.”—Booklist

Sara Jane Rispoli is still searching for her missing family, but now, instead of fighting off a turncoat uncle and crooked cops, she’s running from creepy beings with red, pulsing eyes and pale white skin speeding through the streets of Chicago in armored black ice cream trucks; they can only be described as ice cream creatures.

While she battles these new pursuers, Sara Jane also finds herself navigating the unexpected terrain of new family members: an uncle Jack who’s suffering from Alzheimer’s, but whose foggy memories might also help her unlock some of the most baffling Outfit secrets; and cousin Heather, a gorgeous former child actress, who’s guarding a cold fury secret of her own.

The more Sara Jane learns about the Outfit, her family and the fury burning inside her, the more desperate she becomes to find her family. And after seeing her mother’s amputated finger and being whistled in for a sit-down with the Outfit boss himself, Sara Jane knows she’s running out of time. . . .
