  • "Sixteen-year-old Sally Lockhart has the power to kill a man. Recently orphaned when her father died at sea in mysterious circumstances, she has received a letter warning her to beware of the seven blessings - but when she mentions this to one Mr Higgs he falls dead at her feet. Alone and poor, and in the care of her hard-hearted aunt, Sally knows she must solve the puzzle which the mysterious note sets. Who is Marchbanks, and what is 'Chattum'?

Sally makes friends - such as Frederick and Rosa Garland - as well as enemies, and as the mystery deepens she is drawn further into the seamy underworld of Old London. Foggy wharf, murky opium dens and dank East End rooming houses form the backdrop to this thrilling tale, at the heart of which is the deadly secret of the ruby in the smoke."@en
