Uncorrected Proof. 8vo. 352pp. Glossy pictorial wraps.
Stott's debut novel. Shortlisted for the Jelf First Novel Award and the Society of Authors' First Novel Award. A diachronic mystery set in Cambridge, concerning the alchemical experiments of Isaac Newton. "Much more than a clever whodunit, this taut, atmospheric novel with its twisty interconnections between past and present will leave readers hoping Stott has many more stories in her future." –Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
