is melting down, courtesy of a multi-century plot to bring the Transitive
shape-shifters to power. Only Time Rover Jacynda Lassiter can set things back
on course, but that will be difficult. She's been abandoned in a Victorian
insane asylum with no memory of who she is.
Her
two Victorian friends are facing equal difficulties: Dr. Alastair Montrose is
caught between his duty to uncover the truth and powerful foes who wish it
buried. Once lauded as a hero, Detective-Sergeant Jonathon Keats is on the run,
framed for a woman's heinous murder. Keats' arch enemy, Desmond Flaherty, can
prove him innocent, but the Fenian isn't about to come forward, not with the
life of his only daughter on the line.
If
the anarchist's cache of explosives ignites the biggest conflagration since the
Great Fire of 1666, the future will change. There will be no sanctuary from the
Madman's Dance.

Some debts can only be paid in blood
Brooklyn is thirty-four years old. She
works crime and narcotics, weapons intelligence,
and she has handled top secret material for the Information Operations Center
Analysis Group. She is quick to anger and quicker to draw a weapon. And prior
to her husband’s death, she was in bed with the mob—a fact that didn’t change
after his untimely demise.
Dante Mancini is public enemy number
one. By all accounts, Dante is the most dangerous mob boss this country has
ever seen. He makes his brother look like he was left on the monkey bars
hanging upside down one too many times. Dante has two weaknesses, and only
two—Brooklyn and her daughter.
After three years of increased organized
crime activity, agents realize Dante won’t slip. He doesn’t trip and he damn
sure won’t fall. Then again, some say Dante has already taken the most
detrimental tumble of all. He is head-over-heels for a woman indebted to a
government agency eager to collect what is owed.
Lucky for him, Dante is one step ahead
of those who want to lock him up and misplace the key. And the woman he loves
is prepared to protect him at any cost.
