Hlavný hrdina románu Volanie temnoty Gilbert Vaughan – bohatý, ale slepý mladý muž sa vďaka zvláštnej súhre náhod stane svedkom brutálnej vraždy. Páchateľov však nemôže vidieť, iba počuť. Po zdĺhavej a bolestivej liečbe sa mu zrak vráti a počas potuliek v Taliansku sa zamiluje do tajomnej dievčiny. Záhadná kráska je osudným spôsobom spojená s ohavným činom, ktorého bol mládenec pred časom svedkom a spomienka na krvavú udalosť jej zatemnila myseľ. Kvôli svojej láske sa Vaughan rozhodne vypátrať páchateľov a musí podstúpiť nebezpečnú cestu z Londýna do ruského Peterburgu a do cárskych temníc na Sibíri. Viktoriánsky pohľad na zločiny, milostné záležitosti, exotické cesty, ale aj politický fanatizmus je dodnes mimoriadne fascinujúci a román Hugha Conwaya preto nestratil nič na svojej príťažlivosti.
