Sinossi
Dopo "Il rubino di fumo", il secondo romanzo della trilogia di Sally Lockhart. Titolare di un ufficio di consulenza finanziaria nella Londra vittoriana, Sally si fa contagiare dalla passione investigativa dei suoi amici Frederick e Jim. La pista che Sally sta seguendo per conto di una cliente conduce alla stessa persona sulla quale stanno indagando anche i suoi amici, e non è un caso: Alex Bellmann non è solo smisuratamente ricco e potente, ma anche circondato da un sinistro alone di mistero. Cos'ha a che fare con il naufragio di una nave carica di esplosivi? Cosa si nasconde nella sua fabbrica modello dove anche l'ultimo manovale è superpagato e vincolato alla più stretta segretezza?

My experience with Philip Pullman is that he writes an excellent first book, but then starts doing nasty things to his characters and basically ruins it all. I hate that his romances never work out. And the books end up getting so dark and twisted.
book on CD: Anton Lesser is a delightful reader!
