Inghilterra anni Cinquanta. In un’antica casa di campagna vive la famiglia de Luce: il padre, vedovo, appassionato di filatelia e le tre figlie. La più piccola, undici anni, è Flavia, dotata di un’intelligenza insidiosa, curiosa e intraprendente, precoce scienziata con un debole per i veleni. Capace, se il caso lo richiede, di diventare detective. Le peripezie di Flavia e della sua famiglia costituiscono una delle grandi novità del giallo letterario internazionale, l’esordio un genere inedito che ha sorpreso il pubblico di tutto il mondo.

In the third installment of this bestselling, award-winning, sister-poisoning, bicycle-riding, murder-investigating, and utterly captivating series, Flavia de Luce must draw upon Gypsy lore and her encyclopaedic knowledge of poisons to prevent a grave miscarriage of justice. "You frighten me," the old Gypsy woman says. "Never have I seen my crystal ball so filled with darkness." So begins eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce''s third adventure through the charming but deceptively dark byways of the village of Bishop''s Lacey. The fortune teller also claims to see a woman who is lost and needs help to get home--and Flavia knows it must be her mother Harriet, who died when Flavia was less than a year old. The Gypsy''s vision opens up old wounds for our precocious yet haunted heroine, and sets her mind racing in search of what it could mean. When Flavia later goes to visit the Gypsy at her encampment, she certainly doesn''t expect to find the poor old woman lying near death in her caravan, bludgeoned in the wee hours. Was it an act of retribution by those who thought that the woman had abducted a local child years before? Certainly Flavia understands the bliss of settling scores; revenge is a delightful pastime when one has two odious older sisters. But how can she prove this crime is connected to the missing baby? Did it have something to do with the weird sect who met at the river to practice their secret rites? While still pondering the possibilities, Flavia stumbles upon a corpse--that of a notorious layabout and bully she had only recently caught prowling about Buckshaw. The body hangs from a statue of Poseidon in Flavia''s very own backyard, and our unflappable sleuth knows it''s up to her to figure out the significance. Pedalling her faithful bicycle, Gladys, across the countryside in search of clues to both crimes, Flavia uncovers secrets both long-buried and freshly stowed--the dodgy dealings of a local ironworks, the truth behind the Hobblers'' secret meetings, her own ancestor''s ambitious plans--all the while exhausting the patience of Inspector Hewitt. But it''s not long before the evidence starts falling into place, and Flavia must take drastic action to prevent another violent attack.

En plein été caniculaire, le paisible manoir de Buckshaw est agité par de curieux événements : un oiseau mort, timbre collé au bec, est retrouvé devant la porte de la cuisine, un cadavre fait son apparition au beau milieu d''un plant de concombres, et le colonel de Luce, maître des lieux, n''est plus lui-même. Sa fille Flavia décide alors de mener l''enquête et va se retrouver plongée au coeur du passé tourmenté de son père. Véritable chimiste en herbe à l''esprit vif et imprévisible, ses lunettes rondes lui servent autant à attirer la compassion qu''à protéger ses yeux des projections d''acide, et nul ne peut résister à sa fabuleuse repartie... surtout pas ses soeurs.

Eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, an aspiring chemist with a passion for poison, must exonerate her father of murder. Armed with more than enough knowledge to tie two distant deaths together and examine new suspects, she begins a search that will lead her all the way to the King of England himself.
