Gordon Dahlquist Libri

Miss Temple, una ricca signorina di buona famiglia, arriva a Londra e si fidanza con un promettente diplomatico, Roger Bascombe. Senza darle troppe spiegazioni, questi ben presto l'abbandona, inducendola, ingelosita e incuriosita, a pedinarlo. All'uscita dal lavoro, lo vede salire su un treno e lo segue. Il treno è pieno di gente mascherata, che si reca a una festa fuori città, in una villa inquietante. Per avervi accesso ci si deve quasi spogliare, ma Miss Temple è pronta ad accettare qualunque cosa pur di mescolarsi agli ospiti e scoprire il segreto del suo amato. Nella villa, insieme a due misteriose figure che incontra per caso - un famigerato killer, soprannominato Cardinal Chang, e un ufficiale, Svenson, incaricato di sorvegliare e accudire un principe debosciato - Miss Temple si trova coinvolta in un intrigo inquietante e mozzafiato, che cercherà in tutti i modi di sventare. Una setta di loschi individui sta infatti complottando per ottenere il controllo dei desideri altrui utilizzando dei libri di un misterioso vetro blu in grado di assorbire tutto ciò che popola le menti degli esseri umani.

Miss Temple, young, wealthy and far away from home, never wanted to be a heroine. Yet her fiance is dead, her companions slain and her nemesis, the terrifyingly wicked Contessa Lacquer-Sforza, escaped.

Set against a backdrop of intrigue, the narrative unfolds like a labyrinth, filled with twists and turns that challenge perception and reality. Characters navigate a complex web of secrets, each revealing layers of deception that reflect the multifaceted nature of truth. As the plot thickens, readers are drawn into a captivating exploration of identity and illusion, keeping them guessing until the final revelation.

With old loyalties tested by new and unlikely alliances, Miss Temple, Doctor Svenson, and Cardinal Chang must call on every reserve of courage to face a new and desperate struggle - after all, the integrity of their very minds is at risk. From palace intrigue and a city in turmoil to wolf-haunted mountains, underground tunnels and a suspicious hidden factory, they must overcome war and heartache to battle old enemies and a host of new villains, all hoping to seize for themselves the power of the blue glass books. Now one glass book in particular drives them all, its deadly contents the key to controlling the secrets of the blue glass, or destroying it forever.
