"The soon-to-be-inaugurated Transatlantic Span, the 19th century's crowning feat of engineering, bridges the Atlantic from Liverpool to distant New York City. Beneath the bridge, on the Mersey docks, a corpse turns up. Inspector Matthew Langton of the Liverpool police finds the body's face has been expertly sliced away. More troubling still, the victim was dressed as a Span Company security guard but bears the tattoos of a Boer Irregular. Langton, himself traumatized by his own experiences of the Boer War and still grieving for his recently deceased wife, Sarah, wonders if there's a conspiracy afoot to assassinate Queen Victoria, who's due in the city in a few days to officially open the bridge."--Kirkus Reviews.
