Gunpowder treason and plot

I see no reason why gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot."

Murder, Madness and Quirky Characters are loose in the rookeries and the Houses of Parliament.

There is trouble in London, specifically in Seven Dials, the would-be Guild leaders are disappearing, and someone is taking over, inflicting new hardships on the residents. Jacob Thornton is on the run, accused of murder. His only hope is to turn to Lord and Lady Tinley for their help.

Their investigation uncovers the theft of gunpowder across the city and from the army arsenals. But when the young pickpockets start to disappear, one has to ask what could be going on, which leads the family and their friends down into the sewers of London to discover what plot is afoot.

There is no doubt that the family is being stalked, leading to a brutal attack of someone dear to Lissa and Miles, causing her to lose heart until she decides to seek justice.

But, time is running out for the Agency to solve the puzzle.

They are sitting on a powder keg that, if it explodes, could lead to Revolution and Total Chaos.

There are scenes of graphic violence and offensive language.
