Picking up more than two years after the events of The Shadow in the North, the beginning of this book finds Sally Lockhart living a happy Victorian life. She has a daughter. If Sally wants to keep her daughter, she must slip into the darker side of London, rife with poverty, disease, crime, socialist agitators, and a conspiracy designed to victimize Jewish immigrants, and keep herself and her daughter safe until she can figure out who Parrish is – and what he wants with her.
Sally St. John Brainerd is on the run from the authorities, who want to question her about her possible involvement in her father's murder. FBI Special Agent James Quinlan goes undercover in the picturesque town of The Cove-home of the World's Greatest Ice Cream-where Sally seeks sanctuary. But The Cove and its elderly residents harbor sinister secrets of their own. After Quinlan and Sally discover two dead bodies, Sally vanishes, and Quinlan turns to his partner Dillon Savich to rescue her from a place where no one should be held. Quinlan discovers she is indeed the key to a murder-but whose murder?
Sally M. Stockton - Robin Hood. (level 2)Sally M. Stockton
The legendary hero of Sherwood Forest comes to life in this exciting book about his daring adventures. Robin Hood explains about why Robin Hood became an outlaw, how his band of outlaw grew, Marian's love for Robin, how the cruel sheriff was punished and much more.
Sally is up against a power that seems to involve the mysteries of life and death. A spiritualist seance provides the first clue; a disappearing magician, a document in the Patent Office, a Swedish industrialist of immense and deadly power, and the most beautiful young woman in England all play their parts. I had great fun with the theatre in this story - the bright colours, the vivid situations, the sense of hard sweaty strenuous effort behind the scenes, and swiftness and mystery and phantasmagoria in front.
In search of clues to the mystery of her father's death, 16-year-old Sally Lockhart ventures into the shadowy underworld of Victorian London. Pursued by villains at every turn, the intrepid Sally finally uncovers two dark mysteries--and realizes that she herself is the key to both.
