Jessica Cooper and her two brothers aren't happy about leaving their friends behind for a year when their father accepts a lectureship at the University of York in England. Their worst fears are realized when their new English classmates resent the American Invasion.
Homesick and outraged, Jess feels herself drawn to a tiny church in York where she discovers the spirits of the murdered "Princes in the Tower," imprisoned in stained glass windows. The two Princes and their cousin Neddy are desperate to escape - so desperate that they reach out to Jess and her brothers, first in friendship, then in demand for help.
Frightened, the only way Jess can think of to escape the spirits is to solve the murder mystery. But their killer has kept his secret for over five hundred years, and is not about to be found out. Accidents happen to Jess and her brothers, dangerously paralleling the deaths of the spirits in the windows. The danger builds to a climax where Jess must confront the spirits of the murder suspects to determine the truth.
