    About this ebook

    A scurrilous newspaper has built up a large following by publishing details of political and sexual scandals. It is remarkably well-informed and has therefore created a whole host of enemies. When the editor is killed and the printing press smashed to bits, the Invisible Detectives are hired by the man who financed the production of the paper. He wants the killer brought to justice and the scandal sheet revived. Peter and Paul Skillen find themselves in great danger as they unearth an enormous amount of scandal and corruption before the villains are brought to book.

      Well, I liked this so very much better than the first book in the series. I still do not like the boss of the Bow Street Runners, he's crass, lazy, crude, & stupid... but I think I might be able to overlook him.Parliament has levied the Stamp Act (tax) to put an end to Leonidas Paige's political satire newspaper. Leonidas has continued his work by introducing art prints and selling them with the help of Mrs. Granville in her shop, which has made many an enemy of those politicians he lampoons.Leonidas was once a very astute foot soldier and knows he is being followed, so he turns to his old friend Gully Ackford, who runs a self-defense & protection agency, asking for protection. Unfortunately there were two men following Leonidas, one was able to take the newly hired bodyguard out of commission while the other garroted the satirist and set afire to his work. The Chief Magistrate loathes Leonidas and his work, but the Chief Magistrate's job is to bring the murderer's to justice and therefore calls in the Bow Street Runners to catch the murderers and the one who hired them.Meanwhile, Mrs. Granville's shop window is smashed by a brick, a threat which she does not take lightly and she joins in the investigation.As the Runners bungle along; Peter & Paul Skillen (twin brothers) take on the case and the rivalry is on.It was very interesting to read about the government's silencing of the press, as these days it is so very close to home.
