The Magic Lantern (The Magic Lantern Series, #1)
Description
A murder. A mysterious stranger. A missing diamond. A haunted Magic Lantern. What dark secret ties them all together?
When Sandy is jolted awake by a strange light, she's whisked from present-day
Glasgow to the chaotic streets of 1908. Teaming up with a fearless band of ragamuffin boys, she dives into a race against time to uncover the chilling truth behind these connected events.
But as danger closes in, one question remains to be answered: Will Sandy ever get back home?

Person
Judith Bowers is best known for her work
campaigning for the Britannia Panopticon Music
Hall in Glasgow but has been writing since she
could hold a pen. She has had several works
published including The Best of Edinburgh and
Glasgow, a pamphlet called The Obscure History
of the Merchant City, Stan Laurel and Other
Stars of the Panopticon, and Glasgow's Lost
Theatre. In addition she has researched and
written over thirty history segments for various
programmes and walking tours. History has been
her life, especially the quirky, strange and
gruesome, but she has always wanted to write
fiction, and The Magic Lantern blends Judith's
passion for history, story telling and the
Britannia Panopticon Music Hall to weave a
mystery told in three parts. Part One is The
Magic Lantern.
