A presentation of PBS' "Masterpiece: Mystery!," it's a sequel to last year's "The Ruby in the Smoke," based on the second of a series of young adult novels by <a href="http://www.philip-pullman.com/">Philip Pullman</a>, better known for "His Dark Materials" (whence comes the recently movie-fied "The Golden Compass").
