'Viola is a widowed optician with a penchant for detectiving, who stumbles upon a secret Society of Men in Grey. This Victorian Mystery series is set in a steampunk fantasy world and has a gaslamp flavour.

With her friend, Doctor Henry Collins, at her side, Viola runs foul of mummies, curses and the paranormal. But this time, the threat of Bedlam looms over them...'
