Florizel of Bohemia is pulled from his quiet tobacco shop and club to join a diverse cast of literary crimefighters. Mowgli and Bagheera track pickpockets trained to kill. Edward Ferrars confronts churchmen enabling prostitutes extorting wealth from aristocratic households. Refugees and the homeless disappear into a slave army swelling daily. An MP's campaign might be the masterstroke of a plot to create a class-warfare like no other. A new Empire might rise on which the sun never sets and where no one will ever be free again. Can an exiled prince, a celebrity singer, a Texas Cowgirl, an eccentric inventor, a country parson, a freed slave, a jungle-reared tracker, and a Chinese Merchant join forces to stop extortion, blackmail, theft and murder?
