When electricity becomes a weapon, no one is safe.

A package delivered in the shadows. A civil servant found dead. In London, in 1841, secret agent Ashton finds himself facing a plot capable of setting all of Europe ablaze.

At the heart of the conspiracy: scientist Michael Faraday’s revolutionary discoveries about electricity, hijacked for evil purposes.

Joining forces with the visionary scientist, Ashton embarks on a race against time to thwart the plans of Artemas Kessarian, a corrupt scientist and ruthless strategist determined to bend history to his will by turning electricity into a deadly weapon…

Part historical thriller, part Victorian espionage novel, The Shadow Laboratory offers a dark and breathless adventure, somewhere between James Bond and Conan Doyle.
