Il millenario Jinn Bartimeus, antichissimo, potente, pigro e beffardo, viene improvvisamente strappato dal confortevole mondo degli spiriti ed evocato a Londra, destinato a una missione oscura e incredibilmente rischiosa: rubare l’arcano amuleto di Samarcanda a Simon Lovelace, mago senza scrupoli e membro del Parlamento. Niente di strano: gli umani convocano continuamente gli spiriti per obbligarli a servirli. Ma stavolta il mago evocatore è un ragazzetto di dodici anni, che non sembra affatto in grado di governare il subdolo genio.

Da più di cinquant'anni, Londra è scossa da quello che i suoi abitanti chiamano genericamente 'Il Problema', ovvero un'epidemia di fantasmi che ha infestato tutta l'Inghilterra.

Ed è proprio alla ricerca di un lavoro che Lucy Carlyle, una giovane e talentuosa agente, si reca nella capitale, ma finisce per essere assunta dall'agenzia più piccola e sgangherata di tutte. Per salvarla c'è solo una possibilità, accettare un incarico molto speciale.
