A Gothic-feeling, atmospheric mystery story set in the world of His Dark Materials and The Book of Dust from the globally bestselling and master storyteller Sir Philip Pullman. ' D' you - er - have you seen her before? ' ' Yes. I know who she is. ' ' But, Grinstead, this painting is seventy years old - probably nearer eighty! You' re not being serious - I mean . . . What do you mean? ' On a dark winter' s night in 1970, Horley and Grinstead huddle for warmth in the Senior Common Room of a college in Oxford. Conversation turns to the two impressive works of art that Horley has recently added to his collection. What the two men don' t know is that these pieces are connected in mysterious and improbable ways; and they are about to be caught in the cross-fire of a story which has travelled time and worlds.
Philip Pullman (Author) Philip Pullman was born in Norwich and educated in England, Zimbabwe, Australia and Wales. He studied English at Exeter College, Oxford.

His most famous work is the His Dark Materials trilogy. These books have been honoured by several prizes including the Carnegie Medal, the Guardian Children' s Book Prize, and (for The Amber Spyglass) the Whitbread Book of the Year Award - the first time that prize had been given to a children' s book. Pullman has received numerous other awards, including the Eleanor Farjeon Award and the Astrid Lindgren Award. He was knighted in the 2019 New Year' s Honours List for Services to Literature. Tom Duxbury (Illustrator) Tom Duxbury is an illustrator from the moors of West Yorkshire. His work is influenced by lino-printing, which he uses to depict feeling, movement and nostalgia.
