Description
In Regency London, an unconventional scientist and a fearless female artist team up to trap a cold-hearted killer: âThoroughly enjoyableâ (Deanna Raybourn, New York Timesâbestselling author).
The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. 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, Londonâs most popular satirical cartoonist, A.J. Quill, skewers them both. But then the clergyman is found slain in a churchâhis face burned by chemicals, his throat slashed ear to earâand 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 proposalâuse her sources to unveil the clergymanâs 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 Londonâs intellectual enclaves to trap a cunning adversaryâbefore they fall victim to the next experiment in villainy . . .
