Pariz 1934. Pred notredamsko katedralo se med množico začne zasledovanje. Vango mora bežati. Bežati pred policijo, ki ga je obtožila zločina, bežati pred skrivnostnimi silami, ki ga preganjajo. Vango ne ve, kdo je. Velike skrivnosti so skrite v preteklosti. Vango išče resnico na sicilskih otokih in v megleni Škotski, medtem ko svetu vse bolj grozeče preti vojna. Pisatelj se skozi napeto zgodbo dotakne tem, kot so iskanje resnice, obsodba totalitarizmov, boj proti zlu, nesebična pomoč, požrtvovalnost in ljubezen. Ena od 10 najboljših mladinskih knjig leta 2013 po izboru britanskega časopisa Independent.
