With my family in danger, I must put my own life on the line...
West Wickham, England, 1871 A quiet country village is rocked by murder. Police have no leads, apart from the grisly state of the victim's body.
What limited evidence there is points to a supernatural killer, but Professor Twickham, my employer, is curiously reluctant to lend his assistance.
Roberta, his daughter, has no such qualms, and she promptly involves me in the case as well... only to turn around and abandon me for a sick friend.
Now I must unmask a vicious killer on my own, bringing them to justice before any more innocents lose their lives.
Had I only known the truth, I would never have got involved... This standalone novel is the second title in the Mysteries in Metal gaslamp fantasy series.
