When a master thief escapes from prison, brilliant detective Bettina Rothschild must put him back behind bars before the scandalous fiasco destroys the Ministry of Justice. Her investigation leads from decaying cemeteries where talking ravens conspire to booby-trapped warehouses where wondrous flying machines are built in secret, and even to a legendary island in the sky where an ancient tomb hides a deadly secret.

The thrilling chase proves taxing for a young woman who relies on her cane and her steamcarriage to get about, but that's where a good husband steps in. While Bettina picks locks and interrogates suspects, her beloved Arjuna defends her from the most brutal and bizarre assassins in the steampunk city of Eisenstadt, but in the quiet moments in between they make time for a little romance!

As the clock ticks down, Bettina finds too many mysteries still remain. How did the thief escape from prison? How can he afford to hire so many killers? And why would he go to the magical Drifting Isle only to steal a giant beetle? Discover the answers in the fast-paced mystery thriller!
