Praise for The Equivoque Principle:

‘Marvello's Travelling Circus brings light and colour to the foggy streets of Victorian London, but you can't hang about in fictional Victorian London for long without a series of brutal murders. One of the victims belongs to the circus, and suspicion falls upon Prometheus, the strongman. The boss, a brilliant conjuror named Cornelius Quaint, turns detective to clear the giant's name... boisterous comedy and hairpin plot twists. ‘

THE TIMES

Reseña del editor:

Dr Marvello's Travelling Circus brings a touch of magic and wonder each tine it comes to town. But when master conjuror Cornelius Quaint and his troupe take to the streets of Victorian London, little do they know of the danger that lies ahead.

The arrival of Marvello's Travelling Circus to the streets of Victorian London was supposed to herald a carnival of entertainment and wonder but when a series of brutal and savage murders take place the number one suspect is the circus strongman, Prometheus.

Enter Cornelius Quaint, circus owner and master conjuror, to clear the name of his gargantuan employee. But what he sees as a simple case of wrongful arrest proves to be more complex when ghosts from his own past start to appear on the scene and events take an unexpected turn. A book of great wit and bravado, a circus of a novel with a central character who will sweep you off your feet and into this dark historical adventure.?

The Equivoque Principle is the sparkling debut novel in the Cornelius Quaint series.
