   Summary

   Knockturn Alley, 1950.

   Tom Riddle, poster child for wasted potential, is working at Borgin and Burkes. To most he is just a sales representative, but to the inhabitants of the Alley, he is the man who rules Southside.

   Harry James has no papers and no past. He is the new server at The Black Cat pub, twenty years old but with the battle reflexes of a veteran.

   Tom wants to know who the real Harry James is. Harry wants to go home and leave old ghosts behind him.
