Creeper lives on the streets of an alternate history New Orleans. Creeper overhears something that she thinks will buy her a ticket out of New Orleans. She seeks out the captain of a ship to trade her secret for escape. This is a really short book so there isn't much else to say here. 

The book was an interesting, and compelling read. The book was a little short for the information packed into it. I think this would have made a better full-length novel.
