A Murder on the Thames. An Electrical Mark. London, 1867.
Thomas Fenwick takes cases the police would rather leave in the river. The first leads from a mudflat in Wapping to experiments no one is willing to explain.
The Sparkpunk Series
London. November, 1867.
London, November 1867. Reform has widened the vote, Fenian tension is rising, and the river still brings the city's business to the surface. When a body appears on the mudflats at Wapping, Thomas Fenwick has reason to look closer.
The Sparkpunk Series is historical detective fiction built on Victorian electrical science: batteries, telegraphy, medical experiments, and the claims made for them. The facts are real. The crimes are not.
