Princess Bride and Pirates of the Caribbean comes a fun, quirky, detective adventure, weaving together humor and horror, friendship and betrayal, justice and iniquity.

The Industrial Revolution rages, and inventors race to patent the latest steam technology. But no one cares. They'd rather read The Crimson Run, the gripping newspaper series recounting the clever heists of the Crimson thieves.

But when a series of suspicious deaths befall the inventors, Lady Isabelle Viece is the only one who sees the connection between them and The Crimson Run column. Armed with her considerable inheritance, unrivaled intelligence, and immutable penchant for justice, Isabelle is determined to discover the Puppet Master behind England's greatest scandal. There's just one problem: she's not a detective.

With the constable chief, a crime lord, and a failed circus troupe as allies (oh, and Constable Alex Corbin-he's there too), Isabelle takes justice into her own hands. Will she catch the Crimsons and stop the Puppet Master? Or will justice come at a price she can't pay?
