1981’s The Gathering is the third book in Virginia Hamilton’s Justice Trilogy.

That’s good, because they have unfinished business in the future.

It eventually becomes clear that Justice is worrying about the wrong thing. She should be paying more attention to her twin brothers. Thomas and Levi are mirror twins. They may look alike, but one is right handed, one left, one is a leader, one a follower, one is a victim and one … one is a monster.…
