Sinossi
Mentre il suo amico Capitano Hughes si riprende da un incidente in carrozza, Dido viene abbandonata con gli strani abitanti della tenuta di Tegleaze. Presto accadono cose sospette; un bene inestimabile viene rubato, un ragazzo rapito, una sorella gemella ritrovata e quando Dido intravede il suo mascalzone padre a Petworth, è certa di essere nel mezzo di un altro malvagio complotto di Hannover. Riuscirà a combattere l'ipnotismo di massa, i contrabbandieri e una banda di assassini per impedire il complotto per mettere la Cattedrale di San Paolo nel fiume Tamigi?

Joan Aiken wrote over a hundred books for young readers and adults and is recognized as one of the classic authors of the twentieth century.

Both that and Black Hearts in Battersea have been filmed. Her books are internationally acclaimed and she received the Edgar Allan Poe Award in the United States as well as the Guardian Award for Fiction in this country for The Whispering Mountain.
