December 1703 finds Berry Grigsby living as Mary Lynn Nash in a small English village, where she has fallen victim to Professor Fell's involuntary drug experiments. Her mind is quickly deteriorating under the drug's influence, and the only way to save her is a potion book that was stolen in an attack on the village orchestrated by a mysterious madman going by the name Cardinal Black. Matthew Corbett has volunteered to travel with Julian Devane, a self-proclaimed "fool and bad man" in the employ of Professor Fell, to hunt down the potion book. They follow the trail to London, where the book will be sold at a secret auction. Matthew and Julian manage to secure a seat at the auction by masquerading as respected and feared underground operatives, but to prevail in their high-stakes mission, they will require help from a very unlikely source. Even if they are successful, their race to save Berry Brigsby will leave a trail of destruction in its wake. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y 18th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Book auctions $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190515010054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B4F76F6A76D611E99DDF21FB96128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
