Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Book two in this Edwardian steampunk adventure series, featuring two secret agents from the 'Ministry of Peculiar Occurences'.
there's something rotten in the city of London. Women are disappearing - young and old, rich and poor, from all walks of society. the only thing they have in common is their belief that women also deserve the vote.It's up to the Ministry of Peculiar Occurences to find out why these women are vanishing, but agents Books and Braun have their own challenges. there's a turncoat with nefarious plans within the Ministry itself, and the reappearance of an old flame means their growing friendship is threatened.to say nothing of the queen of the underworld, tassassins-attacking-on-ornithopters, and a conspiracy that reaches to the heights of London Society.
"Certainly no strangers to peculiar occurrences, agents Wellington Books and Eliza Braun are nonetheless stunned to observe a fellow passenger aboard Britain's latest hypersteam train suddenly vanish in a dazzling bolt of lightning. They soon discover this is not the only such disappearance ... with each case going inexplicably unexamined by the Crown. The fate of England is once again in the hands of an ingenious archivist paired with a beautiful, fearless lady of adventure. And though their foe be fiendishly clever, so then is Mr. Books ... and Miss Braun still has a number of useful and unusual devices hidden beneath her petticoats."--Page 4 of cover.
