I want to bring to your attention to a really hot new release, The Mysterious Lady Law by one of my favorite authors, Robert Appleton. Enter a fantastical realm of grand airships and steam powered machines, of dashing gentlemen and adventuring ladies. Turn back the clock to 1899 and the dawning of the 20th century.
Just released from Carina Press, Lady Law tells the story of Julia Bairstow, part-time airship waitress and music hall dancer. Devastated by her sister's brutal murder, Julia doesn't know where to turn. When Lady Law,the most notorious private eye in all of England, offers to investigate the case free of charge, Julia can scarcely believe her great fortune. She immediately accepts against the advice of Constable Al Grant, the one law man who takes Julia's well being to heart.
He does not trust Lady Law and with good reason. The woman has built a fortune embarrassing Scotland Yard with her seemingly supernatural detecting abilities. She has solved the Jack the Ripper murders and many other renowned cold cases. The question is, does she have a natural talent for deduction or is it something else all together?
Steampunk, murder, airships, exciting characters, this one has it all. Go and get your copy this instant, I mean it. I'm going right now, too.
