London is a city of fog, filled with airships, steamcars and towers that stretch into space... This action-packed steampunk mystery follows the adventure of orphan Jason Mason as he becomes apprenticed to the world's greatest detective - the brilliant and eccentric Ignatius Doyle. Jack grew up as an acrobat in a circus. After the tragic death of his parents, he was forced to live inside the gloomy walls of Sunnyside Orphanage. Rescued by Mr Doyle, Jack is soon thrust into a baffling adventure when beautiful Scarlet Bell comes seeking the great detective's help. Her father has been kidnapped, and the future of the world itself may be at stake. But the mystery makes no sense! What does a missing man have to do with the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci and a century's old secret society? And how does mysterious villain Professor M come into all this? Is he the evil genius pulling the strings? Whatever the cause, Mr Doyle and Jack know there's no time to lose. With all its twists and turns and helter-skelter action, The Firebird Mystery is an addictive story and a spellbinding mashup of steampunk and Sherlock Holmes. Its non-stop action adventure will particularly appeal to reluctant male readers, and anyone who enjoy a baffling mystery mixed in with their science-fiction.
