GoodReads Blurb:
Responding to an urgent plea from a
troubled family friend, the Earl of Wrexford journeys to Oxford only to find
the reclusive university librarian has been murdered and a rare manuscript has
gone missing. The only clue is that someone overheard an argument in which
Wrexford’s name was mentioned.
At the same time, Charlotte—working under her pen name,
A. J. Quill—must determine whether a laboratory fire was arson and if it’s
connected to the race between competing consortiums to build a new type of
ship—one that can cross the ocean powered by steam rather than sails—with the
potential to revolutionize military power and world commerce. That the race
involves new innovations in finance and entrepreneurship only adds to the high
stakes—especially as their good friend Kit Sheffield may be an investor in one
of the competitors.
As they delve deeper into the baffling clues, Wrexford
and Charlotte begin to realize that things are not what they seem. An evil
conspiracy is lurking in the shadows and threatens all they hold dear—unless
they can tie the loose threads together before it’s too late . . .
