Mixing high fantasy and mystery, the third book in the Maradaine Constabulary series follows Inspectors Satrine Rainey and Minox Welling as they track down a dangerous murderer.

The city of Maradaine is vexed by the Gearbox Murders: a
series of gruesome deaths orchestrated by a twisted
mechanical genius. With no motive and no pattern, Inspectors
Satrine Rainey and Minox Welling--the retired spy and
untrained mage--are at a loss to find a meaningful lead in
the case. At least, until the killer makes his most
audacious exhibit yet: over a dozen victims in a clockwork
deathtrap on the floor of the Druth Parliament.

The crime scene is a madhouse, and political forces conspire
to grind their investigation to a halt. The King's Marshals
claim jurisdiction of the case, corruption in the
Constabulary thwarts their efforts, and a special Inquest
threatens to end Minox's career completely. Their only ally
is Dayne Heldrin, a provisional member of the Tarian Order,
elite warriors trained in the art of protection. But Dayne's
connection to the Gearbox Murders casts suspicion on his
motives, as he might be obsessed with a phantom figure he
believes is responsible.

While Satrine and Minox struggle to stop the Gearbox from
claiming even more victims, the grinding gears of injustice
might keep them from ever solving these murders, and
threaten to dismantle their partnership forever.
