The next morning, the automaton is missing and the body of a German aristocrat is found in the marquess's study. This is the third book of the Lady Charlotte and Inspector Bolton trilogy, continuing the lives of characters first encountered in The Road from Walstone Fair and Murder in Cottonopolis. Bolton must find the gift and solve the murder before an international incident ensues. As Lady Charlotte and Inspector Bolton are once again thrown together by events outside their control, they are forced to confront not only their feelings for each other, but those who have conspired to keep them apart.
