In Regency London, an unconventional scientist and a
fearless female artist form an unlikely alliance to expose
unspeakable evil . . .
The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind,
but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. He does
not suffer fools gladly. So when pompous, pious Reverend
Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery,
Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back.
As their war of words escalates, London’s most popular
satirical cartoonist, A.J. Quill, skewers them both. But
then the clergyman is found slain in a church—his face
burned by chemicals, his throat slashed ear to ear—and
Wrexford finds himself the chief suspect.
An artist in her own right, Charlotte Sloane has secretly
slipped into the persona of her late husband, using his nom
de plume A.J. Quill. When Wrexford discovers her true
identity, she fears it will be her undoing. But he has a
proposal—use her sources to unveil the clergyman’s
clandestine involvement in questionable scientific
practices, and unmask the real murderer. Soon Lord Wrexford
and the mysterious Mrs. Sloane plunge into a dangerous
shadow world hidden among London’s intellectual enclaves to
trap a cunning adversary—before they fall victim to the next
experiment in villainy . . .
