Book 1: The Wrench in the Machine Digital

Dover, UK., 1875. Inspector David Ol’Barrow is feeling his age. So when two night watchmen bizarrely die in the railway station, the seasoned officer is more perplexed by the nearby crate with a frozen body and “fifty-four” scratched on the lid. But his curiosity turns into horror when his partner is executed by a blade-wielding assassin.

Losing his hand to the same culprit, Ol’Barrow struggles to cope with both losses as he uncovers a young girl with powers over gravity, and shadowy agents protecting his world. But when his investigation reveals a cult-like movement that believes humans are better when enhanced by technology, the policeman fears humanity is about to come to a mechanical catastrophe.

Can Ol’Barrow stay alive long enough to prevent a bloody end?
