1887. London, but not as you know it. The Industrial Revolution
went further than anyone could have imagined, and the sprawling,
chaotic metropolis of Even Greater London spreads across the
southern half of England. The immense Tower casts electricity
through the sky, powering the mind-boggling mechanisms of the city.
The engineer-army of Isambard Kingdom Brunel swarms across the
capital, building, demolishing, and rebuilding whatever they see
fit. Queen Victoria is recovering nicely from her eleventh
assassination, ruling with the dignity that comes from striking
terror into anyone who sees the unholy union of human and machine
that one has become. And at the heart of all this sits the
country's first Private Investigation Agency. Archibald Fleet
(formerly of Scotland Yard, currently administratively deceased)
and Clara Entwhistle (formerly of Harrogate, currently intermittent
crime journalist) hoped things would pick up quickly for their new
enterprise. No-one is taking them seriously, but their break will
come soon. Definitely. Probably. Meanwhile, police are baffled by a
series of impossible bank robberies. With no trace left of the
thieves, and nothing to connect each break-in to the next, their
resources are absorbed by the case. Which means that when a woman
witnesses a kidnapping, Fleet-Entwhistle Private Investigations is
the only place she can turn for help. They're more than happy to
oblige! But why would this man be a target for kidnappers? As Clara
and Fleet dig into the mystery, things go deeper than they could
ever have anticipated . . . From the creators of the acclaimed
podcast Victoriocity comes a hilarious novel set in the greatest,
most chaotic city in history. Twisty, inventive, and joyously
funny, High Vaultage is perfect for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Tom
Holt, Douglas Adams, and Terry Pratchett.
