Mind the Gap: A Novel of the Hidden Cities

by Christopher Golden (Author), Christopher Golden (Author), Tim Lebbon (Author)

Synopsis

.. .The super-fast pacing and creepy touches give this teen adventure plenty of character. --Publishers Weekly

Returning to her home in, teen Jasmine Towne realizes just how long she's been training for the moment she would be on her own. Her paranoid mother's last words, scrawled in her own blood, demand her action: JAZZ HIDE FOREVER. In this moment, the strange men who have always hung around her family's life--whom her mother called the Uncles--become starkly sinister. And they're on her trail.

Seeking cover in the Underground, Jazz slips through a mysterious gate, down tunnels, and seemingly through time. Inside an abandoned city of bomb shelters and forgotten Tube stations, she finds temporary refuge with a gang of petty thieves. Flashes of the past, spectral and haunting, share the tunnels...with no regard for the living. For how long can Jazz hide from the terrors of both her worlds? and a destiny she fears only slightly less than the relentless killers who'd commit any crime under heaven or earth to prevent her from fulfilling it.
