[edit] Plot introduction
An elderly lady loses her money on an investment; a conjuror is pursued by thugs; and a clairvoyant mentions the name of the richest man in Europe and his mysterious company. Seemingly unconnected events set Sally Lockhart on the trail of an evil far more awful than she could ever imagine.
[edit] Sally Lockhart series
The book is the second in the Sally Lockhart series:
- The Ruby in the Smoke
- The Shadow in the North
- The Tiger in the Well
- The Tin Princess
[edit] TV adaptation
Production has been completed on a BBC-WGBH Boston adaptation, written by Adrian Hodges and starring Billie Piper as Sally. It will be aired in the United States on PBS stations on Masterpiece Mystery! as The Sally Lockhart Mysteries: The Shadow in the North. The episode is scheduled for September 28, 2008.[1]
All four books will eventually be adapted for television.
