There's a lot of talking in this one. Will it be important later on? I don't think so...? But the mystery and action kept me interested! Who is this mysterious new lady? Why are these men being murdered? And how will Lady Mechanika clear her name when she's the one accused of the crimes? *queue dramatic music*

We find Lady Mechanika and Mr. Lewis attending a funeral of one of his old colleagues. Inspector Sing arrives and explains that the man was cut in half. Also attending are a few of his other colleagues and the widow and two children of a colleague that was killed some years prior by one of their malfunctioning inventions. Both of the children were hurt as well.
After the wake, another of Mr. Lewis' former colleagues is murdered and they decide to break into Blackpool's office to find out if he's having the inventors who worked on a certain project killed off. Only after an attack on Mr. Lewis do they see that it was a clockwork assassin and ultimately to the source.
Any more would spoil it. Suffice to say, it's a great story and the artwork is incredible.
