The second novel in the Victorian 'Ladies of Lantern Street' novels features paid companion/private inquiry agent Beatrice Lockwood and burned out ex-spy Joshua North in a mystery involving paranormal forces and Egyptian antiquities.
A mad scientist has preserved his dead lover in an ancient Egyptian embalming formula, and has convinced himself that he can revive the dead woman, but he needs Beatrice Lockwood's psychic abilities to 'ignite' the formula. And he will do anything to capture her.
Joshua North - scarred and forced to use a cane due to the disaster that occurred during his last case - is all Beatrice has in the way of a bodyguard . . .
Welcome back to the sensational Ladies of Lantern Street series by Amanda Quick, where the lives of the Victorian gentry are filled with secrets - and secret powers . . .
Under the plain grey skirts of Miss Beatrice Lockwood's gown, a pistol waits at the ready. On a secret mission and with a secret past, Beatrice must be prepared to fight for her life . . .
Yet she is thrown off guard by the fierce-looking Joshua Gage who joins her in foiling a crime and then disappears into the shadows. And Joshua is equally intrigued. He has a personal interest in Miss Lockwood - enough to pull him away from a mournful impulse to hurl himself into the sea - and engage his curiosity about the real Beatrice Lockwood.
He does know one thing, though: this flame-haired beauty was present the night Roland Fleming died at the Academy of the Occult. Beatrice is his guide to a trail of blood and blackmail, mesmerism and madness - a path that will lead them both into the clutches of a killer who calls himself The Bone Man. . . .
