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.
