• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Illinois, 1866.
When 17 year old Francis Smalling's elder sister is gruesomely murdered before his eyes, he joins the Pinkerton Detective Agency to find the killer. But Francis is no normal teenager, he has dabbled in the new sciences for years, and uses his skill, intelligence and guile to bring the man to justice.
His quest will shape his life, and perhaps change the world.
It is a two-voiced story, told alternately by Francis Smalling, a seventeen year old scientist, and his Pinkerton partner, Paul Chapman.
The Clockwork Killer is a novel of detection in the Victorian age, but it is also a love story, a coming of age novel, mixed with a gruesome murder or three.
The Clockwork Killer is the first in the new series, Steampunk Detectives.

Autorenporträt

I am Scottish, born in Edinburgh, and spent the first 41 years of my life not far from my fair and bonnie "Athens of the North". I now live in Topeka, Kansas with my wife (bless her), no pets (don't like 'em), no children (all moved out), and with many gallons of home-made wine bubbling as I write.

I love to write, and enjoy literary challenges of all kinds. I'm not confined by genres, having equal success in Historical adventure, Sci Fi, Fantasy, Horror and hard hitting gritty crime.

I watch far too much football (Don't even think of calling it 'soccer'.) and at times chase a dimpled ball along carefully manicured countryside, with a collection of calibrated, graphite-shafted sticks. I play guitar and sing in a folk/rock band, and would love to have enough money to tour the world's archeological sites until I'm too old to walk.
