As an archivist, Wellington Books is most content when left alone - unfortunately when Miss Eliza D. Braun, a field agent for the Ministry with a fondness for dynamite and derring-do, ends up assigned to work with him, his tranquillity is forever broken.

Secret societies, carriage chases and explosions are so very hard to catalogue properly, after all.

This rip-roaring, hilarious, steampunk romp is the perfect summer read for fantasy and romance readers, including the many readers who have made Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate novels so successful.
