The Shadow in the North (1986) is a book by the English author Philip Pullman. It was originally published as The Shadow in the Plate.

Plot introduction

An elderly lady loses her money on an investment; a conjuror is pursued by thugs; and a clairvoyant mentions the name of the richest man in Europe and his mysterious company. Seemingly unconnected events set Sally Lockhart on the trail of an evil far more awful than she could ever imagine.

Sally Lockhart series

The book is the second in the Sally Lockhart series:

1. The Ruby in the Smoke
2. The Shadow in the North
3. The Tiger in the Well
4. The Tin Princess

TV adaptation

Production has been completed on a BBC-WGBH Boston adaptation, written by Adrian Hodges and starring Billie Piper as Sally. All four books will eventually be adapted for television and this next one was aired on the 30th December 2007 at 8.55pm.
