Description

In an age of Zeppelins and gyroplanes, the Transatlantic Span is the industrial marvel of the nineteenth century. A feat of engineering, the steel suspension bridge stretches across the Atlantic from Liverpool to the distant harbour of New York City. One day a faceless corpse is found beneath it. Inspector Matthew is still grieving for his late wife but forces himself to investigate what he intially fears is a Boer conspiracy against Queen Victoria. When more corpses appear he realises the sinister soul snatchers may be involved.

Reviews

"Doktor Glass transports you into an alternate Victorian England so vivid and lively that you believe every escalating fantastic development--it's a wild, suspenseful ride, sure to keep you up late reading."--Tim Powers

"[R]emarkably well-crafted, with visceral, gritty details, a fascinating set of mysteries and a memorably tormented investigator."--Kirkus Reviews

"Mystery and intrigue abound as Thomas Brennan conjures this fog-choked vision of a steampunk Victorian England. Superb characterization and a generous dose of the heebie-jeebies make Doktor Glass a grimy urban fantasy you won't want to miss."--Adam Christopher, author of Empire State
