In a bustling city thrumming with innovation, a tenacious reporter hunts for truth in every story and street corner...

...until she finds the body of a burlesque dancer with wounds from an unknown, volatile weapon.

Investigative reporter Ginnie Harper left her life as the daughter of one of Luxity's wealthiest couples after a personal tragedy spurred her to start a career as a journalist. Having built a name for herself at the Franklin Journal, Ginnie doesn't think she can be shocked by anything – until bodies start to pile up around town. The typically bright and prosperous Luxity – a turn-of-the-century metropolis founded by a prodigy of Nikola Tesla – now grows darker in the face of these grisly murders. And when Ginnie's best friend goes missing, she fears the worst.

Who is this mysterious assailant, and what is the connection between the ever-growing list of victims? Can Ginnie find the truth before she becomes the next target?
