Havelock James

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls - welcome to the world of the dangerous and captivating Lady Thrillington, retired locksport and secret adventurer. Deadly shadows haunt the gas lit and fog bound alleyways of a London that never was and never will be. Marvel at acts of bravery high above the cobbled streets, acrobatic daring do’s in the late night; gasp as our heroine fights for her life against the evil that lurks deep within the Empire, cheer as she uses her clever mind to outwit the police as only the greatest of Victorian heroines can. Read with delight as she solves the infuriating puzzle of the Cursed Star, and faces off against the horror of the never-ending army. Aided and abetted by her stoic manservant Jeffers, with his brass and steam contraptions; and Detective Inspector Carter of the Yard, her majesties most gallant and brave policeman. An adventure for the modern age; full of mechanical curiosities, elektric golems, steam powered stallions and mechanoid rats. All written and presented in glorious modern English, by that mysterious man of letters, Havelock James.
