The Mysterious Lady Law
In a time of steam-powered cars and grand airships, the death of a penniless young maid will hardly make the front page. But part-time airship waitress and music hall dancer Julia Bairstow is shattered by her sister’s murder. When Lady Law, the most notorious private detective in Britain, offers to investigate the case

Julia jumps at the chance. Lady Law puts Scotland Yard to shame. She’s apprehended Jack the Ripper and solved countless other cold-case crimes. But is she really what she claims to be—a genius at deducting? Or is she not to be trusted…?
