"Victorian London private enquiry agent Cyrus Barker and his assistant, Thoma Llewelyn, find themselves matching wits again with Barker's nemesis--aristocrat and sociopath Sebastian Nightwine. The British government has granted Nightwine immunity for his past crimes, and knowing that Barker will be determined to thwart his plans, Nightwine makes the first move by framing Barker for murder. Barker and Llewelyn, on the run for their very lives, must still uncover and thwart Nightwine's real scheme, before it's too late."--Page 4 of cover.
