Overview
The Sally Lockhart Mysteries Collection brings together all four novels in Philip Pullman's acclaimed Victorian quartet in one brand new paperback set. Following Sally Lockhart from a headstrong teenager to a formidable young woman across four thrilling adventures, this set suits young adult readers, teachers, and fans of atmospheric historical mystery, offering a rewarding introduction to Pullman's storytelling beyond His Dark Materials, and a smart addition to any teen bookshelf or classroom reading corner.
About the Books
This four-book paperback set opens with The Ruby in the Smoke, in which sixteen-year-old Sally Lockhart is thrown into danger after her father's mysterious death at sea, uncovering a conspiracy tied to a cursed ruby. In The Shadow in the North, an older, more independent Sally runs her own financial consultancy, only to be drawn into fraud and sabotage behind a client's ruined investment. The Tiger in the Well finds Sally, now twenty-five, fighting to keep her daughter after a stranger's outrageous legal claim threatens everything she has built. The quartet closes with The Tin Princess, in which Sally's old friend Jim Taylor becomes bodyguard to a princess with a hidden past, sweeping the pair into a dangerous plot of European politics and betrayal. Pullman combines meticulously researched Victorian settings with tightly plotted mysteries, moral complexity, and a heroine who grows more capable with every book, in storytelling that has made this quartet a modern classic of young adult historical fiction.
