AUDIOBOOK: Philip Pullman - The Ruby In The Smoke (abridged)
"Her name was Sally Lockhart; and within fifteen minutes, she was going
to kill a man." Philip Pullman begins his Sally Lockhart trilogy with a
bang in The Ruby in the Smoke -
a fast-paced, finely crafted thriller set in a rogue- and
scalawag-ridden Victorian London. His 16-year-old heroine has no time
for the usual trials of adolescence: her father has been murdered, and
she needs to find out how and why. But everywhere she turns, she
encounters new scoundrels and secrets.
