Summon your courage when you return
to Victorian London to trail murderers, battle hexes and uncover wicked
secrets. Join fearless Sally Lockhart (Billie Piper, Doctor Who), a recently
orphaned young woman with a mind for numbers—and sleuthing—as
melodrama, murder and mystery mix
in this vivid adaptation of the first book
in Philip Pullman’s novel trilogy. Armed
with a pearl-handled pistol and a keen
mind, Sally uncovers the secrets of her
father’s death aboard the schooner
Lavinia, discovers hidden cursed jewels,
and faces England’s deadliest villains
with bold courage. Assisted by her streetsmart
friend Jim and photographer
Frederick (JJ Feild, Perfect Strangers, To
the Ends of the Earth), she exposes the
truth—no matter how dangerous. “A
mystery yarn that fairly crackles in the
greatest tradition of the [Masterpiece
Theatre] franchise, unraveling its tangled
web with unhurried brilliance...”—The
Hollywood Reporter.
