Sixteen-year-old Sally Lockhart was brought up quite unusually for her time. Her knowledge of English literature, French, history, art, and music is almost non-existent. Still, she is strong in military tactics, handles business easily, rides like a Cossack, and shoots a pistol with precision.
After the sudden mysterious death of her father, she is forced to move in with her unfriendly cousin in London. There she receives an anonymous letter with a terrifying warning that makes her husband die of fear. Determined to discover the truth about her father's death, Sally plunges into a dangerous and terrifying adventure in the dark heart of Victorian London.
A stunning and exciting adventure that provides some insight into the injustice and inequality of Victorian society will appeal to older children, teenagers, and adults.
