Description
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER''A joyously funny and absurd steampunk frolic that satirises both the era in which it is set and our own age''FINANCIAL TIMESFrom the creators of the acclaimed audio drama podcast Victoriocity comes a cozy scifi mystery set in the chaotic metropolis of Even Greater London - unmissable for fans of Ben Aaronovitch''s Rivers of London series and Terry Pratchett''s Discworld.EVEN GREATER LONDON, 1887: a vast, uninterrupted urban plane encompassing the entire lower half of England and, for complex reasons, only the upper third of the Isle of Wight... The immense Tower casts electricity across the sky itself, powering the mind-boggling mechanisms of the city below; the notorious engineer-army swarms through its very veins, building, demolishing, and rebuilding whatever they see fit; and - at the heart of it all - sits the country''s first ever private detective agency.Archibald Fleet and Clara Entwhistle 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, their resources wholly 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. Luckily they''re more than happy to oblige.But what''s the motive behind the kidnap? As Clara and Fleet investigate, they find more than they could ever have imagined...READERS ARE LOVING HIGH VAULTAGE:''One of the most original stories I''ve read'' NetGalley review''Clever, original, funny, sharp, satirical and incredibly entertaining'' NetGalley review''My favourite steampunk/humorous alt history novel'' NetGalley review''A wonderful escape from real life'' NetGalley review''Great fun and endlessly inventive.
