Elizabethan London. Ever since his accident, Jack the pick-pocket can see devils. Not only that, he has one in his service, the irrepressible Imp. But devils are tricksy creatures, and when a ploy with a devil of mischief goes wrong, Jack and the Imp, with his companions Beth and Kit, are transported 200 years into the future, to an age of rationality which no longer believes in devils of any kind. Big mistake.
When Jack picks the wrong pocket and finds himself making a dangerous bargain with a terrifying stranger, the consequences are worse than he could ever have imagined. Held at knife-point, with his mother brainwashed by an ancient curse, only reckless, rapier-swishing Kit Morely can help him.
