Join undercover and patriarchy-bucking PI Elizabeth Baranabus on a
third and final mystery adventure through a steampunk-flavored Victorian
London
You'd have to be mad to steal from the feared International Patent
Office. But that's what Elizabeth Barnabus is about to try. A one-time
enemy from the circus has persuaded her to attempt a heist that will be
the ultimate conjuring trick.
Hidden in the vaults of the Patent Court in London lie secrets that
could shake the very pillars of the Gas-Lit Empire. All that stands in
Elizabeth's way are the agents of the Patent Office, a Duke's private
army and the mysterious Custodian of Marvels.
Rod Duncan returns with the climactic volume of The Fall of the Gas-Lit
Empire, the breathtaking alternate history series that began with the
Philip K. Dick Award-nominated The Bullet-Catcher's Daughter.
