GoodReads Blurb:
In Regency London, an unconventional
scientist and a fearless female artist form an unlikely alliance to expose
unspeakable evil . . .
The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific
mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. He does not suffer
fools gladly. 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, London’s most popular satirical
cartoonist, A.J. Quill, skewers them both. But then the clergyman is found
slain in a church—his face burned by chemicals, his throat slashed ear to
ear—and Wrexford finds himself the chief suspect.
