人骨鏡の謎 下
満足度100%のエンタテインメント
ロックウッド、ルーシー、ジョージの三人は、ビッカースタッフがかつて住んでいた家に行き、〈頭蓋骨の霊〉が言った通りの場所で、ある文書を見つける。そこには「人骨鏡の作り方」が図解されているようだった。この「人骨鏡」に真実に導く鍵が隠されているに違いないとにらんだ三人は、夜になると、フィッテス社にある黒図書館にしのびこみ、調べ物を始めた。人骨鏡は物を映す鏡ではなく、死後の世界が見える窓のようなものらしい。さらに、人骨鏡は、見たものの命を奪ってしまうという恐ろしい鏡だ。
ビッカースタッフの墓から盗まれた鏡は、人骨鏡だったのだ。そんなとき、浮浪者のフローから人骨鏡が、極秘オークションにかけられるという情報を得る。早くしないと、人骨鏡を、また闇の中に見失ってしまう。
極秘オークションが開かれる晩、人骨鏡を奪い返すことを計画する。窓から忍びこんだロックウッドとルーシーは、無事に人骨鏡を取り戻し、その謎を解明することができるのか?

About the author
Jonathan Stroud
63 books11k followersJonathan Anthony Stroud is an author of fantasy books, mainly for children and youths.
Stroud grew up in St Albans where he enjoyed reading books, drawing pictures, and writing stories. Between the ages seven and nine he was often ill, so he spent most of his days in the hospital or in his bed at home. To escape boredom he would occupy himself with books and stories. After he completed his studies of English literature at the University of York, he worked in London as an editor for the Walker Books store. He worked with different types of books there and this soon led to the writing of his own books. During the 1990s, he started publishing his own works and quickly gained success.
In May 1999, Stroud published his first children's novel, Buried Fire, which was the first of a line of fantasy/mythology children's books.
Among his most prominent works are the bestselling Bartimaeus Trilogy. A special feature of these novels compared to others of their genre is that Stroud examines the stereotypes and ethics of the magician class and the enslaved demons. This is done by examining the perspective of the sarcastic and slightly egomaniacal djinni Bartimaeus. The books in this series are The Amulet of Samarkand, The Golem's Eye, and Ptolemy's Gate, his first books to be published in the United States.
Stroud lives in St Albans, Hertfordshire, with his two children, Isabelle and Arthur, and his wife Gina, an illustrator of children's books.
