Overview

In a city of steam and secrets, the truth is the most dangerous invention of all. In the smog-choked metropolis of Cogsworth, animals walk on two legs and steam powers the empire. Baxter Reynard, a brilliant but cynical Red Fox detective, prefers the company of machines to the deceit of society. His only partner is Click, a sentient mechanical beetle capable of cracking the toughest Babbage engines. Business is dead until Lady Genevieve Gilt, heiress to a steam-shipping fortune, walks into his cluttered workshop. Her father's death has been ruled a suicide by the incompetent police, but the locked-room mystery reeks of foul play. Baxter knows a sealed vault doesn't keep death out-it keeps the secrets in. As Baxter peels back the layers of Cogsworth's gilded corruption, he uncovers Project Simulacrum, a conspiracy led by the shadowy 'Clockmaker.' The plan? To replace the city's leaders with indistinguishable biological automatons. From the grime of the Slagside industrial district to the high-pressure stakes of the aristocracy, Baxter and Click must wind up the case before their own time runs out.
