Produktbeschreibung

Rumors swirl of the "Elf King" sabotaging Nicola Tesla's network of aether towers. Dougray Cameron is called out by King Edward's Secret Service to investigate. Doug's wife Kate follows in secret, heeding her misgivings about this 'wee, small task' Doug took on. As she watched him scale a tower across the turbulent strait the great iron tower slowly collapses, plunging Doug into the fatal surf. It's the stranger next to her whose slow-clapping amplifies the horror -- what kind of fiend would do that?

When Kate turns to demand an explanation he's gone. Surely he knew something, planned something, killed her husband! The card he handed her -- he lives in Paris! Kate Cameron, newly widowed, will follow this Errol Koenig to Paris and serve justice on him!

But -- he's aware of her pursuit, and his confederates are determined to stop her, if not kill her. Aided by those she meets, including Winston Churchill, P G Wodehouse, Mata Hari, Arsène Lupin, Nicola Tesla, and Kemal Ataturk, she follows her prey across Europe to Constantinople and beyond, travelling by Orient Express, Tesla's airship, and automaton Janissary.

Somehow the moment to end Koenig's life never arrives. Could his strange allure be the reason why?

And could it be true that her husband survived?

In a classic scene, the pursuit ends atop an ancient castle in a thunderstorm.

Autorenporträt

Lindsay Petersen is a native of Leeds, Alabama, where she grew up feeling she had been born a century too late and likely even in the wrong Leeds.

She's lived all over the world, but most enjoyed Paris, where she studied the French allure of l'amour, and Delhi where she won a coveted first in her studies of the Kama Sutra, excelling especially in her lab work.

Since her glory days in academia she has focused her impressive energies on motorcars, gourmanderie, oenology, and expressing the muses of poetry, song and dance. Of her paintings it's been said that they're worth a million words. Those who read her prose value her words more than a thousand pictures ("Math can be a challenge!" she smiles).

As a sideline she extensively investigated emollients, trying to determine just how soft her skin could be ("Wonderfully so!" exclaims her husband) in her monograph, "Fifty Grades of Shea."

Lindsay's exploits are hardly unique in her family. Legend has it that it was her great-grandmother Thelma who suggested to Coco Chanel some changes to Chanel Number 4. The rest, as they say, is history. Should you meet her uncle ask him for the tale of Formula 408.

So finely tuned are Lindsay's senses of taste and smell that, when laboratories find spectroscopes need calibration, Lindsay is called in because extraordinary perceptions are recognized worldwide as the benchmark for spectroscopes. It has even been proposed that their sensitivity be denoted in 'petersens.'

She lives and travels with her husband, who called himself "the luckiest man in the world." Lindsay Petersen agrees with him.
