About the book
Victorian enquiry agent Cyrus Barker and his young assistant Thomas Llewelyn, who were first introduced in Will Thomas's debut novel Some Danger Involved, are embarking on a new mission in To Kingdom Come.
After a bomb destroys the Special Irish Branch of Scotland Yard, suspicion falls on Irish dissidents fighting against English rule. Barker and Llewelyn offer their services to the British government and decide to infiltrate a secret cell of the Irish Republican Brotherhood known as the Invisibles. They take on the roles of a reclusive German bomb maker and his anarchist apprentice, and become involved in the group's plan to overthrow the monarchy and bring London to its knees.
Their journey leads them from a deserted lighthouse in Wales to Paris, where Llewelyn teams up with Maire O'Casey, the captivating sister of an Irish radical. Llewelyn once again faces challenges from his mysterious employer as he learns the dangerous art of bomb making.
Full of danger, intrigue, and historical figures like Charles Parnell and W. B. Yeats, To Kingdom Come is an exciting follow-up to Some Danger Involved.
