The Ripper Affair

Sorcery. Treason. Madness. And, of course, murder most foul . . .

A shattering accident places Archibald Clare, mentath in the service of Britannia, in the care of Emma Bannon, sorceress Prime. Clare needs a measure of calm to repair his faculties of Logic and Reason. Without them, he is not his best. At all.

Unfortunately, calm and rest will not be found. There is a killer hiding in the sorcerous steam-hells of Londinium, murdering poor women of a certain reputation. A handful of frails murdered on cold autumn nights would make no difference . . . but the killings echo in the highest circles, and threaten to bring the Empire down in smoking ruins.

The game is afoot . . .

Rockets through a Britain-that-wasn't with magic and industrial mayhem with a firm nod to Holmes - Patricia Briggs

Lilith Saintcrow was born in New Mexico, bounced around the world as an Air Force brat, and fell in love with writing when she was ten years old. She currently lives in Vancouver, WA with two small children and a houseful of cats. Oh. And a husband too.

Sorcery. Treason. Madness. And murder most foul . . . A shattering accident places the mentath Archibald Clare in the care of Emma Bannon, Sorceress Prime. Clare needs a measure of calm to repair his faculties of Logic and Reason, but unfortunately, calm will not be found. A killer hides in the sorcerous steam-hells of Londinium, murdering poor women of a certain reputation. Once more Emma Bannon is pressed into service; once more Archibald Clare is determined to aid her. And there is still no way to reliably find a hansom when one needs it most. The game is afoot. Praise for this series: 'Rockets through a Britain-that-wasn't with magic and industrial mayhem with a firm nod to Holmes. Genius and a rocking good time' Patricia Briggs 'Don't miss this one . . . she's fabulous' Christine Feehan
