    Il potente jinn Bartimeus, demone antichissimo, pigro e beffardo, viene improvvisamente strappato dal confortevole mondo degli spiriti ed evocato a Londra da Nathaniel, un ragazzino di dodici anni. La sua missione è oscura e molto rischiosa: rubare l’Amuleto di Samarcanda al temibile Simon Lovelace, mago senza scrupoli e membro del Parlamento. In una Londra oscura e affascinante si dipana un mondo magico al «negativo», dove gli uomini meschini, invidiosi e senza scrupoli sono contrapposti agli spiriti, ben più potenti e astuti di loro. E su tutti trionfa l’arguto, saccente, permalosissimo Bartimeus…
