Sally is up against a power that seems to involve the mysteries of life and death. A spiritualist seance provides the first clue; a disappearing magician, a document in the Patent Office, a Swedish industrialist of immense and deadly power, and the most beautiful young woman in England all play their parts. I had great fun with the theatre in this story - the bright colours, the vivid situations, the sense of hard sweaty strenuous effort behind the scenes, and swiftness and mystery and phantasmagoria in front.
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. Pursued by villains at every turn, the intrepid Sally finally uncovers two dark mysteries--and realizes that she herself is the key to both.
Oscar Wilde - Salome [Unabridged audiobook with text]
Salomé's story was made the subject of a play by Oscar Wilde that premiered in Paris in 1896, under the French name Salomé. In Wilde's play, Salome takes a perverse fancy for John the Baptist, and causes him to be executed when John spurns her affections. In the finale, Salome takes up John's severed head and kisses it.
Because at the time British law forbade the depiction of Biblical characters on stage, Wilde wrote the play originally in French, and then produced an English translation (titled Salome).
