Good used copy with moderate exterior wear. The front cover has edge and corner rubbing, light creasing, surface scuffing, and noticeable wear along the bottom edge. The back has similar edge wear plus a significant rubbed/scraped area near the lower-right side where some of the printed surface has been removed. The covers remain firmly attached and the artwork is bright and attractive. |

Agents Wellington Books and Eliza Braun are returning home after surviving the machinations of Thomas Edison when an emergency message sends them racing back to England. Braun’s young network of informants, the Ministry Seven, is in serious danger.
When Books and Braun reach London, they discover something far worse: the Ministry has been disavowed and its agents are being systematically eliminated. Behind the conspiracy is the Maestro, now aided by a dangerous new ally whose poisons have penetrated the highest levels of British society—even threatening the Queen herself.
A fast-moving blend of Victorian espionage, steampunk technology, humor, mystery, and adventure. The Diamond Conspiracy is the fourth Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences novel and an appealing choice for readers who enjoy secret organizations, eccentric inventions, alternate history, and adventurous fantasy with a lighter edge.
