Elizabeth's new job is very unusual. The building where she works might not look very interesting but behind this ordinary Manhattan faade lurks a very special place indeed. Because here you can borrow anything your heart desires . . . And in the basement is something so special, so secret, that Elizabeth can't believe her eyes. The Grimm Collection. Powerful and mysterious items that must be kept safe and can't be lent out to just anyone. So when these objects start disappearing Elizabeth must investigate. But who can she trust? One way or another she has to find out who is stealing from the Grimm Collection . . . and for what dark purpose.
