When the cruel captain of the airship Petty Snark gets strangled by his own cat-o-nine-tails, the crew wants to dismiss it as an unfortunate accident. But Lt. Aubrianna Chellbamber, Special Investigator of Perplexing Incidents for the Royal Foglandian Air Corps, smells murder. As she investigates the kinky crew and tries to untangle this sordid mess, we have to wonder: Will the killer lash out again, or will Aubrianna whip up a solution to this steamy – and steampunky – mystery?
