Publisher's Summary

In the London of 1795, intrigue and death walk the dark streets. England is at war with its neighbor and nemesis, France, and espionage is rampant. It is the job of Jonathan Absey at the Home Office to catch these spies, but his mind is elsewhere, his dreams haunted by the still unsolved murder of his 15-year-old daughter on these same streets.

Desperately pursuing both investigations, he stumbles across a strange society of astronomers called the Company of Titius who are on a furious search of their own: to discover the long-lost star in the wide black sky. As he digs into their arcane world, their quest begins to merge with his own, and Absey finds himself discovering more than he had ever imagined - not only about spies and murderers but also about celestial numbers and the making of codes; about passions as unnatural as they are obsessive; and about the bonds of family...and the lengths we will go to preserve them.

What the critics say

"Historically immaculate...it is as if John le Carre has gone Age of Enlightenment on us...as if Silence of the Lambs has been reset in the Napoleonic era." (Booklist)
"Actor/singer Tim Curry has a beautiful, expressive instrument." (AudioFile)
