The Sally Lockhart Mysteries

In The Ruby In The Smoke, Sally is recently orphaned, and is being hunted by an assassin as she is caught up in London’s deadly opium trade. With her new friends – a pioneering young photographer Frederick who unknowingly saves her life and Jim, a quick-witted street child with the nerve for a fight and a taste for danger – she must discover her father’s killer.

In The Shadow in the North, Sally, Frederick and Jim are drawn deeper into a world of high-society danger and deceit. They face new mysteries and old enemies and must confront the biggest challenges of them all; the challenges of both love and death.
