Chosen to be the Turnkey at London's Highgate Cemetery, Flossie has been charged with the special task of looking after the souls that reside there. When Flossie discovers the ghost of a mysterious German soldier, far from his home and carrying a strange object, she uncovers a terrible secret that threatens the worlds of both the living and the dead. With the help of the other Turnkeys, Flossie must unravel the mystery in order to save London
