When Lord Wrexford discovers the body of a gifted inventor in a dark London alley, intends to let the authorities handle the matter. Then the inventor's widow begs for his assistance. It seems her husband's designs for a revolutionary steam-powered engine went missing the night of his death; they could be worth a fortune-- and very dangerous in the wrong hands. Charlotte Sloane, who uses the pseudonym A.J. Quill to publish her political cartoons, doesn't mind tapping her resources to track down an elusive killer. But they are up against a cunning and deadly foe-- a killer ready to strike again.
