Revolution in the streets. A deadly weapon stolen. A wardrobe too wide to fit up the stairs. All is most definitely not well back in Damsport... Cruikshank has created a deadly new weapon, but someone breaks into her workshop, steals the design, and leaves her for dead. Time for Rory and Longinus to roll up their sleeves again. But it doesn't take long for them to be completely out of their depths, and not just because they're now roommates, which comes with many challenges. They find themselves facing a creepy doll maker, chaos in the streets, and a powerful man seeking to overthrow the Old Girl. And underneath it all, a sinister plot to bring Damsport to its knees. Once again, Rory and Longinus find themselves the city's last line of defence. Damsport really should invest in some better defences.
