She&rsquo;s been sweet sixteen for more than sixty years, hitchhiking her way along the highways and byways of America, sometimes seen as an avenging angel, sometimes seen as a killer in her own right, but always Rose, the Phantom Prom Date, the Girl in the Green Silk Gown.<br /> <br /> The man who killed her is still out there, thanks to a crossroads bargain that won&rsquo;t let him die, and he&rsquo;s looking for the one who got away. When Bobby Cross comes back into the picture, there&rsquo;s going to be hell to pay&mdash;possibly literally.<br /> <br /> Rose has worked for decades to make a place for herself in the twilight. Can she defend it, when Bobby Cross comes to take her down? Can she find a way to navigate the worlds of the living and the dead, and make it home before her hitchhiker&rsquo;s luck runs out?<br /> <br /> There&rsquo;s only one way to know for sure.<br /> <br /> Nine will let you count the cost:<br /> All you had and all you lost.<br /> Ten is more than time can tell,<br /> Cut the cord and ring the bell.<br /> Count eleven, twelve, and then,<br /> Thirteen takes you home again.<br /> One&rsquo;s for the shadow, one&rsquo;s for the tree,<br /> And the last is for the blessing of Persephone</p>",
