Publisher's Synopsis
London, 1898. The brilliant maverick scientist Dr Eliza Winters tests her radical new invention-known as the Lazarus Engine-in the hopes of benefitting humanity. Instead, she unwittingly unleashes a dark and mysterious energy across the city, raising the dead from their graves to hunt down the living.
As the contagion spreads and the terrified metropolis descends into anarchy, Eliza discovers that the malfunction was no accident, but the work of a secret cabal of depraved aristocrats poised to take power in a military coup. With the help of an uncompromising Scotland Yard detective, an organised crime boss and a highly advanced steam airship, Eliza must battle to defeat the deadly conspirators who will stop at nothing to gain control not only of the British Empire, but of the very source of life itself.
