A piano is playing. The music is fast and chilling, and it never stops. It's driving Angela mad. The music is coming from a tall, rotten building in the bad part of the city.

Dark Man is drawn towards the music. As he climbs the stairs he sees children shuffling towards the music, their eyes staring.

Can Dark Man defeat the terrible dark that lives inside the piano?This book is part of the Dark Man Series, a range of books for emergent teen and adult readers.
