Krátky popis
The book begins with a chase through the streets of Calcutta in May
1916. Lieutenant Peake pauses for breath outside the ruins of the
Jheeter's Gate station knowing that he only has a few hours to
live. Inside his overcoat he is sheltering two newborn babies -
twins, a boy and a girl. Pursued by his would-be assassins, Peake
runs at full tilt to the house of Aryami Bose, to whom he entrusts
the children. In 1932 we meet the boy, Ben, and his group of
friends the night before they are due to leave St Patricks
orphanage. They have formed a secret club, The Chowbar Society,
that meets each week at midnight in the old ruin they have
christened The Midnight Palace. Their final meeting is due that
evening but then Aryami Bose turns up at the orphanage with Sheere,
Ben's sister, and tells them the story of the parents they never
knew. Their father was an engineer and writer who died in tragic
circumstances at the inauguration of Jheeter's Gate station. But as
the novel unfolds, there is more to this story than meets the eye
and they are lured by a shadowy figure from the past into a final
showdown in the ruins.
