The Ruby in the Smoke (A Sally Lockhart Mystery)
From the bestselling period novel by Philip Pullman, 'The Ruby in the Smoke' recounts the 19th Century adventures of Sally Lockhart (Billie Piper), an aggressive and determined young Brit. Wielding a loaded pistol, fluency in Hindustani, and a fundamental knowledge of military maneuvers, Sally is anything but a typically submissive, Victorian Era girl. Recently orphaned, and being hunted by an assassin, Sally, with her new friends - young photographer Frederick and quick-witted street child Jim - must discover her father's killer. Facing them is an unseen, murderous opponent and at the heart of it all, the deadly, blood-drenched secret of the ruby in the smoke.
