Edinburgh, 1784. It takes a scoundrel to catch a thief... Crowded, intellectual Edinburgh is catalysing Scotland into the industrial age. In a city where any man can make extraordinary discoveries, none bank on that possibility more than Elizabeth Fulhame: wife of medical student Thomas and amateur chemist-magician. When a valuable trade secret is stolen from the Port of Leith, Elizabeth gambles her magical power and intelligence is strong enough to steal it back. To recover their prize from the wealthy English aristocrat who covets it for himself, Elizabeth and Thomas need the smartest minds of the Enlightenment. A chemist with secrets. An absent-minded, brilliant economist. A bickering clutch of physicians. And a lowlife scribbler with grandiose dreams of flight. Together, they pursue their wealthy foe in a cat-and-mouse game through the glittering, seedy rooms of 18th century Edinburgh. But there is more than the object of the heist at stake: the aristocrat's ruthless ambitions could destroy Scotland's economy and everything Elizabeth cares about. Fans of The Lies of Locke Lamora and the dark fantasies of Leigh Bardugo will love this explosive continuation to The Edinburgh Doctrines series by CL Jarvis.
