A year and a half ago, River St. Clair would have never guessed that someday she'd come to appreciate, even prefer, the unpolished Victorian-era version of Chicago over the same gleaming metropolis of three centuries later. But there is something quite extraordinary about watching a town rise from the ashes and take form before your eyes.
River has carved a place for herself in this strange world too, a man's world; never mind that she has to disguise herself as one. Now, a solid sense of purpose and new-found friendships do well enough to buffer the day-to-day inanities and the necessary farce that is her life. That is until her careful construction begins to crumble down, and a blast from the past reignites the womanly heart that resides beneath her coroner's frock coat. Just eight days might see her undone.
The week of Marlowe St. Clair's birthday is thus shrouded in personal drama, family intrigue, the undeniably peculiar death of Birdie Day, and several schemes-some nefarious, others potentially so.
With a cast of quirky characters, a heavy dose of intrigue, and more than a dash of romantic suspense, fans of female sleuths, steampunk, and time-travel mysteries will enjoy NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT.
