Parker's search for the truth draws him into a series of confrontations with the Fellowship's enforcer, the demonic arachnophile known as Mr Pudd, and forces him to descend into the depths of a honeycomb world of dark angels and lost souls, a world where the ghosts of the dead wait for justice and the unwary are prey for the worst kind of creatures.
