Mystery Private Eye
When UW Professor Benjamin Bradshaw discovers a despised
colleague dead inside the Faraday Cage of the Electric
Machine, his carefully controlled world shatters. The facts
don't add up-the police shout murder-and Bradshaw is the
lone suspect. To protect his young son and clear his name,
he must find the killer. Seattle in 1901 is a bustling blend of frontier attitude and
cosmopolitan swagger. The Snoqualmie Falls Power Plant
lights the city, but to most Seattleites, electricity is
newfangled and dangerous. The public wants a culprit-they want
Bradshaw behind bars. The killer wants Bradshaw dead. His life and liberty threatened, Bradshaw discovers the
thrill of investigation as he's thrust deeper into the hunt.
Questions abound. How had the Electric Machine's Tesla Coil
delivered a fatal shock? Was the murder personal-or
connected to President McKinley's planned visit? Were
students involved, or in danger? And why had Bradshaw's best
friend, Henry, fled to Alaska the day of the murder? When Henry's niece Missouri appears on Bradshaw's porch in
need of a home, her unorthodox views and femininity confuse
and intrigue him as he struggles to protect his own haunting
secret. Danger and death lurk everywhere-disguised as
accidents. Has Bradshaw come alive again only to lose all he
holds dear? Before it's too late, will he discover the
circuit path that led to a spark of death?
