Pursued by villains at every turn, the intrepid Sally finally uncovers two dark mysteries-and realizes that she herself is the key to both. In search of clues to the mystery of her father's death, 16-year-old Sally Lockhart ventures into the shadowy underworld of Victorian London. This is an audiobook excerpt from "A Sally Lockhart Mystery: The Ruby in the Smoke" by Philip Pullman, narrated by Anton Lesser.
