When Kujo, Victorique, and the other guests are drugged at dinner, they begin to suspect someone seeks revenge for the tragic events of ten years earlier aboard the same mysterious ship, The Queen Berry. Then, one by one, the guests begin to die.

Kujo throws himself in harm’s way to save Victorique from a killer. At police headquarters, Victorique brilliantly reveals the true mastermind behind the harrowing events aboard the haunting ship, as well as the dark reasons behind the original tragedy.

When Kujo sees a motorcyclist decapitated, Victorique must prove his innocence. Later, Kujo and the beautiful new exchange student from England, Avril, uncover an eight-year-old murder in the academy crypt.

Kujo follows along as Victorique responds to an odd summons to the descendants of the Gray Wolves. As they travel to a village in the mountains, Victorique relates the tale of her mother, Cordelia Gallo, and the criminal accusations leveled against her.
