I agree with that. While it's impossibly convenient, the first few chapters establish that the hand can summon "evil spirits, or something." Then, when Gabe is out of options, he uses the hand it to summon spirits. The book even throws in this line to plug up what might appear to be a gap in logic: "maybe I was unconsciously remembering the legend behind the hand that the kid at the garage sale had told me."
