Sally Lockhart makes an unusual hero, left alone at the age of 16 when her father dies, she makes her way through turn of the century London and survives on her wits, as there was precious little else left to her.

But as she delves deeper into the identity of a wealthy and elusive industrialist, she uncovers a plot so diabolical, it could subvert the entire civilized world.
