The Vesuvius Club

Books on the Victorian & Edwardian eras are fascinating to me. The Vesuvius Club by Mark Gatiss is best described as James Bond from the Edwardian era. Lucifer Box, is described as a "portrait painter, wit, dandy and rake". But that's all a cover for his main occupation as a government agent and state-sponsored killer. Box is called upon to look into the mysterious disappearance of two of the country's leading scientists.
